And why do the right wingers poop their pants when you suggest that the rich should give something back to the society that made them rich?
Examples of wealthy lifestyles:
I heard about one family who decided to buy a second private jet, and presumably hire a second crew, so their teenagers would stop asking to borrow the family jet. (Gee, that sounds like a good idea. Think I'll do that.)
One famous corporate dynamo, when he was head of a major entertainment company, reportedly met a woman he liked, and she lived in Japan. So he sent her a Boeing 747 filled with roses. (I don't know if she was sufficiently impressed or not. And I don't how much that cost, but I hope he got what he wanted.)
A reporter asked John McCain, when he was running for president, how many houses he and his wife Cindy, a beer baroness, owned. He said, "I'll get back to you on that." He didn't even know. Turned out they owned seven. (Well, I know how many houses I own: zero.)
The point: I think it's a great idea that children are going hungry and schools are failing so we can maintain those lifestyles. Don't you?
