Ferrari: Tax The Rich, We Can’t Do It All Ourselves!

[onager]

If Ferrari is known for one thing, it’s super-fast, good-looking cars. But if Ferrari is known for two things, that second thing would be its uncanny ability to separate the wealthy from their hard-earned (or not) cash. And apparently the brand is so good at extracting revenue from its super-wealthy clientele that it doesn’t mind a little competition.

The Wall Street Journal reports that, when asked by the Italian paper Republica how governments should overcome their budget crises, Ferrari Chairman Luca DeMontezemolo replied:

"You have to begin by asking it of those who have most, because it is scandalous that it should be asked of the middle class."

Class warfare, or just the natural perspective of a guy who regularly charges the super-rich $2,300 for Alcantara trunk liner and $1,800 for a spare wheel? We report, you decide…

If a dealership was in town I'd go and let the general manager know WHY?

8. Ooh, let me do it this time: "Well why don't they go write a check to the government..."

Now that I said that, you all have to be quiet, because you know I'm too dumb to understand basic ideas, like how football players wearing helmets puts individuals at a competitive disadvantage if one chooses to do it, but makes the game better and safer if they are ALL required to do it. That thought is completely beyond me, so you have to let my dumbass comment slide.
