Oh, and Bob, MacDonalds requires you to have half a million dollars in unborrowed assets. So no, they don’t take out a bigass loan.

Oh yes they do. That 500 grand is collateral. Remember, this is a world where the only way to get a loan is to prove that you don’t need the loan.

So what is the topic? Are we saying that the 1% have too much control over our lives, and we need to free ourselves from the societal structure they have created—or are we saying that the government has a debt problem, and why not tax the rich?

If the conversation is about the former, I think there are better ways to change society—more effective ways. If we’re talking about the latter, fine, but there’s no need to demonize these people.
