10. Just one more reason to raise taxes on the uber-wealthy

and then compel them to pay.

Anyone with money to throw around like this needs to start paying their fair share.

Also, wasn't Blackwater involved in misadventures, including atrocities, in Iraq? As I recall the US military had to save their asses more than once.

I would love to see a DOJ investigation into its activities, both here and abroad.

The notion of a clique of billionaires running its own foreign policy, with its own private army, should be abhorrent to any democracy.

Edited to add: might there be a lawsuit in all this? Probably not, but if I were in one of the organizations they tried to compromise, I'd definitely check with an attorney just to see.
