20. really, the rich deserve to keep their money, they 'wHorship' it..

those of us in the middle class are used to not having any left over money, we won't miss it like the rich will. We won't have to choose between giving up our summer home or our membership at the country club. They will have to make hard decisions over real sacrifices. We'll will just have to whine about the increase in food prices and then pay them anyway.

It is still a victory for the middle class, if the rich really had their way, we would be feeding the homeless to the hungry. Sort of a soylent green solution.
