Imagine what it is like to be extremely wealthy, part of the top one percent, such as the Walmart heirs and the Koch Brothers!
You would think they have a perfect life–more than they could ever spend, no worries as 99 percent of Americans have daily, able to wield power and corrupt the American political system!
And yet, apparently, they are having nightmares over the so called “Trifecta” of public leaders who demand some compassion, some empathy, some willingness to pay their fair share of taxes, some understanding that the world does not revolve around them!
All of a sudden, instead of most political and religious leaders kowtowing to them, kissing their feet, worshiping their wealth, we are seeing true principle and conviction among some courageous leaders, that it is time for the top one percent to be held accountable! They have destroyed labor and the environment, and have worked to buy a government that favors them, and victimizes the middle class and the poor!
Kudos therefore to President Barack Obama, Pope Francis, and New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio, as they terrify the elite into understanding that they have met their match!
The wealthy top one percent must be forced to be good citizens, whether they like it or not, or else the American democratic system is doomed for the future!
OR …… The American people will demand changes and get rid of the tparty once and for all.
Great post Professor Feinman!
Hello Professor,
For those readers of this site and follow hockey….this has the potential to become what is known as a “Natural Hat Trick.” 🙂
HAHA, I like hockey, and love your humor, Engineer! LOL
It is a very well known fact that conservatives which includes the very wealthy ones give much more to charity then the libs, their idea of compassion is taking other people’s money for redistribution.
Dave, it is NOT a well acknowledged fact that wealthy conservatives do what you say, but also realize there are MANY MORE wealthy conservatives, since they destroy the environment, labor, and discriminate against all kinds of groups, and promote division and selfishness, as part of their agenda. And yet, they claim to be “religious”, but do not practice what they preach!
And of course I was not just spotlighting rich conservatives, it is also true for all income classes of conservatives.
” I saw a liberal the other day with his hands in his own pockets, I should have taken a picture.”
You have a problem, Dave, in that you possess a lot of hate, and really do not give a crap about what the Republicans since Reagan have done to the middle class, let alone the poor. You reveal your true self on here to all my readers, and it is not pretty!
