It’s not fair, of course, and it’s just not right. 85 people own as much of the world’s wealth as half the global population. Fewer than 100 individuals have as much loot as 3.5 billion of their fellow human beings. Is it any wonder they feel so put upon? They’re outnumbered 41 million to one. And anyone with even a drop of empathy or decency can surely understand how the threat of slightly higher taxes on these people is as inhuman as carting 6 million Jews off to gas chambers.

1. Four things

(1) I am very committed to combatting income inequality, and have been talking about it since the 1980s, BUT ...
(2) Marie Antoinette never said that (just for the record).
(3) Don't pull the Hitler gas-chambers card, EVER.
(4) I made such a terrific cake this weekend: sour cream and crystallized ginger bundt cake, with a demerarra sugar crust.

3. she might not have said it, but it was her attitude.

2. I don't like cake

I really don't. I do a lot of volunteer work with diabetics, and so I literally hate cake.

But this is supposedly a historical lie about Marie Antoinette.
