Nick Hanauer (and you) are absolutely right. If these idiots don’t pull up—the pitchforks and the tumbrils and the guillotines will come.

There’s lot more of them than there are of you obscenely rich folks.

Don’t be like the Bernard Marcus (co-founder of Home Depot) and John Catsimandis who achieved their let-them-eat-cake moment in the Wall Street Journal arguing that they should pay very few taxes as only they can wisely spend their money on what they deem important.

These fat fucks will probably be dead of natural causes soon, but their children may have to face the rage of the impoverished citizenry if they also inherit these sneering, oligarchic attitudes along with generational money.
