Not in the least. I would charge those fat cats now if I had my way.

A small theft is theft nonetheless, Redux, however disguised in righteous-sounding language. Now I begin to see the core of your mentality -- that is, the thing that keeps you a Democrat when men of sense (for instance, registered independent voters) are abandoning the Donkey Party right, left, center, top, and bottom. You're fighting a class-war. This is the hobgoblin of the small and resentful mind.
So of course, I do not do what you do; I make a point of
not going around fighting a class-war. It's unworthy of me, and should be unworthy of you as well -- but for some damnfool reason I can't plumb, you don't really want me to regard you as intelligent. Thing is, I'd really rather I
could think of you as a smart, with-it kind of guy. Not, IOW, as a moderately dilute socialist.
