    I read all the way to when he mentions John Boehner before I realized this was written 10 years ago, and things have only gotten worse since.

    I have a lot of mixed feelings about how this guy discusses this, but this line kinda broke me

    These idiotic trickle-down policies are destroying my customer base. And yours too.

    I remember reading this back then. I wonder what he’s done to promote income equality in the meantime.

    If more of the ultra wealthy were like him, we’d be in a better place.

    Hell, if more of everyone believed what he believes we’d probably be better off. Too many poor people seem eager to side with the rich.
