Hillary Clinton surprises with early attack on CEO pay

11. I have to agree with this:

"If rich people are not worried about today's levels of income inequality, then they are stupid,"

That is pretty much why I do think they are stupid. Smart elites govern well. Things work. Change happens smoothly and sensibly. Progress is not measured by profit alone. Everything is not politicized and treated as a source of patronage. Ours do not. And our government seems to be too disfunctional to do anything about it, hamstrung by the national obscurity state and transformed by the corruption of elections into a disunited oligarchy, all fending for themselves. It is not a pretty picture.

But I get your point, Clinton is most unlikely to lead the revolution, and that is why those rich people who are not stupid are comfortable with her.

I am curious to see what she will do, how this plays out, and having sat through Nixon, Raygun, and Bush the Elder and Bush the Lesser, Clinton will do if she must.
