The Top Ten Percent Pay More Than Their Fair Share
17th February 2015
Freeberg reminds us of some inconvenient truth.
These days you really have to live in a cave, or something, in order not to see it. The conflict isn’t between right-wingers and left-wingers arguing about how they should sit in the French Parliament relative to King Louis XVI. The argument is, and has been for awhile, about who should have a greater influence on the direction in which the country is taken: Those who believe next year should yield more bountiful rewards than this year did, or those who don’t believe in that and want everything “equal,” which really means, miserable.
I guess my counter-question would have to be something like: How can anyone pay attention these days, and not see all this?
And that is my question as well.
