Part of the problem is that this has really laid bare the fact that we don't tax these people enough.
We see price increases on daily essentials and home ownership--hell, even home security, in the "I'll have a roof over my head" sense--is increasingly a pipe dream, and here we have multimillionaires and billionaires who can afford these dalliances but, curiously, fight tooth and nail against tax increases and social services meant to lift all boats. And we're told that we need to tax them less so that they can be "job creators" or somesuch nonsense...
...and then once again we end up bailing them out, this time literally as well as fiscally.
I think we're all very tired of handouts to the rich, especially since we've had so many examples of how they're not really that much smarter, despite what we're told. They're not Galtian supermen, they're by and large either lucky to be born into wealth and/or sociopathic to become rich on the labour of others. And despite the media's attempt to recast this little escapade, that PR is no longer working.
They must be at least enough smarter to not fall into the giving labour to the sociopaths trap?
