Rich People Are Whiners

My boss is very wealthy. He was born wealthy and he's gotten wealthier. And he's constantly whining about taxes.

 

LOL!

I didn't know they ever got out of their limos to even get to an escalator!

 

Why are you whining about rich people? Do you not understand irony?

 

Yes, especially the free money for the rich. About a year back, the NYT (IIRC) had an interactive spreadsheet on a web page where you could make very detailed changes to the federal budget to see their effects. I found it was a trivial exercise to balance the budget without hiking taxes or cutting social programs. I just cut out corporate giveaways, bailouts, military waste, the DEA, surveillance of innocent citizens, etc. Problem solved.

 

"...The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States...."

"Why are you whining about the king? Do you not understand monarchy?"

 

Maybe one whines about the power the rich and the problems their greed creates rather than the actual rich themselves? The effect rather than the direct cause?
