    My personal thought of the day:

    If we keep referring to them as the ruling class we will never diminish the power they wield.

    They are the undeserved wealthy. The takers of value and the destroyers of a balanced economy. They are often mocked, but instead they should be pushed off their gilded pedestals through progressive marginal tax rates that are equal to those of the early 20th century.

      I call them owners. But it doesn’t matter because they hold all the power through threat of violence and access to violence.

      Maybe there is a better solution but at this point I think violence is the right answer against such a threat.
