‘Tis the Season for Giving (to the rich)
I don’t know about you, but at this time of year it warms my heart to see the rich getting everything they desire. A two-year extension of the Bush tax cuts? No problem, Mr. Trump. A cutback of the horribly unfair estate tax? Have some more caviar, Mr. Gates. Time magazine’s Person of the Year? It’s our honor, Mr. Zuckerberg. Taxes still too high? Just move your business out of America, Mr. Manufacturer — and be sure to enjoy the cheap labor in Mexico.
Isn’t it ridiculous how the middle class keeps waging warfare on America’s rich? It’s Christmas, so please enjoy this picture of what the rich are giving to the rest of us:
