If that weren't bad enough, their damn chauffeurs double park their limousines on our busy streets causing annoying traffic jams.
I say we apply the merchants rule: You break it, you pay for it. And if you refuse to pay for it, what happens? We call the police and the boys with badges haul you away.
The rich have broken our democracy, they've broken our economy at least once in 2008, and they're setting up to break it again. But they refuse to pay for it.
Time to call the police and haul them away.
As I said, we'll be civilized about this. We'll let them take all their antiques, jewelry, fine art. We'll give them a Certificate of Appreciation for their mansions and vacation homes, which will be turned into homeless shelters, alternative schools, hospices to provide care for people who are lacking proper health care, centers for peace studies.
We'll even give them a reasonable amount of time to pack -- say 20 minutes.
Or if they prefer, we can haul that guillotine out of the basement.
Their choice.
