11. Once money buys truth

Then the billionaires can say whatever they want: they are right. The rest of us are mere complainers. What can we really do? Have at them with a twitter storm?

Of course the OTHER problem we have in America today is the twitter storm won't be about how it sucks to make $8.30 an hour, since life sucks for everybody. The twitter storm will be over how mean it was when someone tipped over the ladder while a fireman was rescuing a cute kitten from a tree. Kittens are cute, the fireman was hot, and someone used the hashtag #justinbieber.

Easy outrage is what America is all about, and the saddest truth of all is one of the easiest thing to get outraged over is "complainers".
