Class warfare.  Yes it's real.  The filthy rich have declared war on the middle class for several decades.  They take your money and then have the government give them a handout.  You invest at Merrill Lynch, you lose your life savings because they are paying their executives billions of dollars a year collectively.  Then the government comes in and writes them a free check, for 10 billion more.  Where do you think that money is going?  You won't see a penny of it unless you are working on their private jet.

To fix America we have to put an end to this kind of class warfare.  The filthy rich have stolen nearly 10 trillion dollars of our collective middle class money.  I want it back, every freaking penny, and if that means they have to live with 4 Mercedes on the driveway instead of 12 Jaguars, then so be it.  That's why I support a one time assets tax on millionaires, restoration of capital gains and income taxes on the top 1/2 of 1 percent to their Eisenhower levels, and other temporary pieces of legislation to put an end to this thievery.

Today in the New York Times a bunch of elitist bankers from the Upper East Side started whining if they had to make do with "only" half a million a year because they claim that they can't live with anything less than two to three million dollars a year.   Three million dollars is 100 years of working full time at the minimum age in this country after taxes.  Yet it is these same greedy pigs who will complain loudly if somehow the guy or girl making minimum wage is offered a $500 tax credit.  Unfair they'll say.  Class warfare they'll say.  Tough shit on these greedy pigs I say.  And there will be no tepidity in my policies.  I'd make the middle class vibrant again and yes you avaricious pigs will have to make do with less.

Let's start with this quote

As hard as it is to believe, bankers who are living on the Upper East Side making $2 or $3 million a year have set up a life for themselves in which they are also at zero at the end of the year with credit cards and mortgage bills that are inescapable,” said Holly Peterson, the author of an Upper East Side novel of manners, “The Manny,” and the daughter of Peter G. Peterson, a founder of the equity firm the Blackstone Group. “Five hundred thousand dollars means taking their kids out of private school and selling their home in a fire sale.”

Okay here is my response.  Tough shit.  See they have "set up" a life for themselves where they make 2 million and then have nothing left.  So let them make "only" $500,000 a year.  Let them sell that home and make do with less.  Let them take the kids out of private school

Learn to send the kids to a cheaper school.  Learn to live on "only" $500,000 a year.
