Beware, fellow plutocrats, the pitchforks are coming Nick Hanauer

And old one, but well worth watching.

Nick Hanauer is a rich guy, an unrepentant capitalist — and he has something to say to his fellow plutocrats: Wake up! Growing inequality is about to push our societies into conditions resembling pre-revolutionary France. Hear his argument about why a dramatic increase in minimum wage could grow the middle class, deliver economic prosperity ... and prevent a revolution.

I’ve posted it here before — in response to others’ comments. It’s nice to view it again and heed his words.

I have a good sturdy pitchfork at home, and will have it ready for just such an occasion. My only question:
Should I keep the tines really sharp and clean, for maximum penetration? Or dull and dirty, for greater cellular damage and organism-dispersal.
(In my compost container, of course!)
