The inequality police are worried...............

"I live in the same city as Donald Trump, so the existence of rich people with toxic taste is not exactly a Muppet News Flash for me.    But poor people are not poor because rich people are rich, nor vice versa.   Very poor people are generally poor because they do not have jobs, and taking away Thurston Howell III’s second yacht is not going to secure work for them.    Nobody has ever been able to satisfactorily answer the question for me: How would making Donald Trump less rich make anybody else better off?"
-Kevin Williamson, as excerpted from this essay
