Which of these groups should sacrifice the most?

[All Along The Watchtower]

There's a lot of talk about "shared sacrifice" and "tightening belts" re: austerity, not just in Europe but also, increasingly, in the United States.

So who ought to suffer sacrifice the most under austerity?

[All Along The Watchtower]

There is no need for "shared sacrifice." The sonsofbitches who created this mess should pay to fix it. We need to go back to the days of the 70% top income tax rate.

What we really need is to guillotine them.  But I'm afraid that's as much a pipe dream as is raising their taxes significantly.  The have all the power, of course that's why they have all the money.

You want to decapitate Warren Buffett, Oprah and Mark Zuckerberg?

Who would really, in their heart of hearts, miss Mark Zuckerberg except on principle?

My point is that I'd love to hear Opebo's explanation for how Zuckerberg's wealth was derived from the exploitation of the poor. He created a product that poor people have benefited immensely from and don't even have to pay to use; the labor involved in its production came from bourgeois engineers and programmers; and those engineers and programmers, along with Zuckerberg, ultimately monetized their product via an IPO that they benefited from at the expense of...rich people and investment banks who bought Facebook stock at the inflated IPO price. If Zuckerberg has remotely taken advantage of anyone in his rise to great wealth, it's his fellow rich people.

So the poor should be grateful to richers like Zuckerberg?
