108. Well they certainly get massive tax breaks for years and years just because they
are good at hoarding wealth, stifling wage increases, busting unions and creating a larger and larger underclass of wage slaves.

They seem to have paid off every politician in washington to make sure things don't change too much.
And their front man, Buffett, marches out periodically to blather on about how they should all pay more but funny all those people with all that power and all that money can't manage to bribe the politicians to right the situation.

The ever widening black hole between the wealthy and the poor in this country is all the evidence I need as to their collective parasitic character. Perhaps if all those oh so benevolent captains of industry had paid their employees a wage that didn't keep them indentured servants for life we lower class workers could have funded our own libraries, museums and hospitals along with universal health care and free college.

But no, they stole every last cent and now they want the little bit that is left.

Next time you see one of those plaques on a building honoring some rich asshole for a large donation you can thank the masses of low paid wage slaves who made that donation possible.
