For all their vaunted rhetoric about the superiority of capitalism, and how it's 'self correcting', it's patently obvious that giant bubbles of logic-defying greed and excess still permeate the culture.
But OH NO! We mustn't discourage or intervene, lest we 'stifle innovation' or engage in 'wealth redistribution' or 'discourage performance'.
The 'wealth redistribution' charge is especially amusing (only it really isn't)... how people fail to grasp the fact that yes, it's happening, but NOT flowing from top to bottom as they assert, but from the bottom and middle to the very top. Even if the right admits this, they'll say that these bastards 'deserve' these outrageous sums based on their 'hard work'.
Even if the graphs weren't so damning, who the fuck needs 10, 20, 50, 70 million dollars a year?
