More Republican "tax reform" (wink-wink, nudge-nudge): Sob stories mask a giveaway for the super wealthy

Republican tax reform is based on the sincere desire to return to a simpler time ... the age of "Robber Barons". Capital accumulation and re-investment insures are tight recycling of wealth and prevents the horrors of sharing and caring.

Seems like I just heard W say, "Let them eat cake!".

Living in an area where there are an inordinate number of extremely well-off people I'm really getting sick and tired of hearing people who throw parties that cost more than I make in a year( after dumping most of their taxable income into a Bank in the Cayman Isalnds) bitching about how hard life is. I'm pretty comfortable as far I can tell, but I'm not likely to leave a very large economic ghost when I change existential planes. Which brings me to a question that really needs answering: How much is enough? And the ancilliary: Is money the best determinant of wealth or is it merely a smoke screen to keep the masses hopeful enough to maintain the current allocations of power and influence?
