America's Idiot Rich
The 1 percent is complaining louder than ever. There can be no reasoning with people this irrational

By Alex Pareene at Salon

"SNIP............................................

Here’s a brief list of insane things that are apparently common knowledge among the billionaire class:

That President Obama and the Democratic Party have treated wealthy finance industry titans maliciously and unfairly.

That the fact that they are perversely wealthy and growing richer during a period of mass unemployment and staggering debt is a sign that the economy is functioning correctly.

That poor people, and not the finance industry, are responsible for the financial crisis and subsequent recession.
