We here at CLN keep asking, “How much is enough?” Once you’re very, very rich, how much richer do you need to be? How many cars can you actually drive, how many clothes can you wear, and how many houses can one person live in?
Most of the fortunes (that the mega-wealthy hoard) they owe to the fact that they had the good luck of having lived in the United States of America — which provided the opportunity to rise to the top and get rich in the first place!
And so we wonder why Republicans consider it blasphemy to suggest that the top 400 income earners in our nation be willing to give up some very small percentage of their vast fortunes to lower the nation’s debt for the good of the country?
We’d consider that patriotism.
