2. I wonder if it's too big
to drive on four slashed tires? That'd be my question.

I wonder what a replacement set of tires for a Cayenne might cost? Plenty, I bet.

5. I had ot look up what the hell a Cayenne is. I drive a '93 car.
The 521 horsepower, 531 foot-pound, bi-turbo V8 2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is the world's most insanely powerful and quietly refined SUV.
It's the most powerful V8 on the planet, 20" wheels.
Best of all....MSRP: $112,000 to over $171,000.

6. This is the Kind of Thing That Should Be Heavily Publicized
This is the kind of thing that people--especially on the internet but also elsewhere--should be publicizing heavily, if you really want to infuriate people and turn them against this issue, as strongly as they were when they were first telling Congress not to bail the investor-scams out (and then they did). Pictures like this disgusting thing; the yacht that was called "Tax Write Off" or whatever that was, a while ago; the picture of the fat, laughing head of Exxon-Mobil, very popular a couple of years ago to get people really mad. Also, to gather offensive quotes (there must be at least one website already, devoted to this), about how rich executives are suffering and need bonuses, they should not have to pay taxes or they will move, etc., and gather stories about the rich importing servants from Third World countries who don't speak English, and then abusing them here, as the rich so often do. This kind of angry exposure of things, to really inflame people, should be a more common feature of education on these issues, and get rid of the asinine "framing" that interests no one.

You want to get a backlash started, tell them that the Wall St. crooks, (who are not lending, and not paying the bailouts back, by the way, according to the new Inspector's report), who scammed the whole system to steal all this money and are still not regulated or punished--are on a spending spree, and LAUGHING at us all.
