We live in an age of multi-billionaires. I like our system, but some of that needs to go for things other than more mansions OR tearing down America and promoting globalism. There have to be some laws about, if you're a billionaire, you can't just make another 20 million by moving overseas---you owe something back to society.<br /><br />Used to be called noblisse oblige (noblesse?) and taken for granted. Now we taken people with 50 billion dollars for granted, which, when you think about it, is just as crazy as spending other people's money with abandon, as blue cities do.<br /><br />There has to be an inbetween. If we had a real congress, rather than Pelosi and some attorney-lobbyists writing the few laws we have (I read that 90% of them are regs put out by bureaucrats, not laws)....that might help. But I'm kinda stuck.<br /><br />All those dystopian novels? Well, here we are, George, just like you said. Wish we at least had soma, as in Hunxley's version...<br /><br />P.S. PDT was going to bring us back (with all of us working toward it) but the immature and power-hungry left was so determined that (stomping foot) "NO! You WON"T have a good time like we had under obama! NO!" that they decided to ruin it all for spite...<br /><br />They could stop this BS in a day if they could get past the brainwashing that they MUST hate this guy they've never met and really know little about...Ah, and that brings us to what is laughingly called "the media," spinning their spin...Well, too big a problem for me tonight, but I am enjoying binging on your site after not being here for awhile.<br /><br />Keep up the good work---- your retired teacher fan with PTSDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-75599987787404494752020-08-03T09:14:40.520-07:002020-08-03T09:14:40.520-07:00The very wealth will likely bail out OF NYC.
