Grabbing Up All the Bling That They Can

Populist politics really is just show-biz for ugly people. The irony is that the more venal they are, the greater their feeling of entitlement, even as they play the class-warfare game of humiliating the successful. That doesn’t mean that tour ‘selfless civil servants’ aren’t employing the power of law and government to enjoy a similar lifestyle. Babe-a-licious Belle de Ville rings in and has her doubts about the Politburo’s worthiness to having any claim to enjoying the fruits of our hard-earned money that they’re taxing away from us. You can be sure of one thing. Barney Frank will never be thanking the “little people” productive for funding his political shickanery.
