This article and your posting of the link (what else do you ever post?) is little more than envy masquerading as a morally afforded sense of public honor. Please. Jesus said in one of the Gospels, "the poor you will always have with you." Guess what? Same's true of the rich. In a continuum of non-equal parts, there will always be two extremities. And there has always been extravagances at the surplus end. That will never change. There is no change, no movement, no growth and newness without disequilibrium and non-parity. Get used to it. The writer of the article mentions the "fabulously rich" and, quotin a WSJ blogger, "the rest of us [who] feel like we're merely treading water" (no mention, btw, of the very poor). But she offers not even the most general amelioration of that problem. She's just wants to get on record clucking her tongue and the super-wealthy. Ooooh. This is trivial crap. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Brady
