P.S. Even though we disagree (although from your last para, perhaps not fundamentally), it's nice to talk about this with someone who's not a bit of a lunatic. :hug:
That's why I talk with myself so regularly.  :)

Oh, wait, there's a flaw with that ...  :hmm:
Nope, my Mother always told me "people who talk to themselves are either rich or crazy and you ain't rich!"
You on the other hand are rich.
You're labouring under a misconception as to what 'rich' means.

Yup. I ain't rich, not even close ...  :lol:

Yeesh. They may or may not have a point, but that's an awfully good way to get lynched.

Pretty dick move on their part, and one that can easily misfire from the PR perspective.

They're also the ones who put "we are the 1%" in the windows, so I think being a dick is no longer a worry on their part.

If I were someone who got rich through rent-seeking activities that made the society as a whole poorer, I would not be employing the Marie Antoinette strategy in dealing with the protesters.  I would instead opt to lie low, rather than test the resolve of the Tea Party useful idiots that have so far protected you politically.

Here's a British millionionaire, now living in the USA, telling us what he thinks. It sounds really cool cause he's got a british accent.

It's actually kind of an insult to McDonald's, too, when you think about it.
