“Money is like manure. It only works if you spread it across the grassroots.”

Given the increasing dominance of right-wing politics by arrogant, super-rich Tech Bros, here’s a question about wealth inequality for your barroom philosophers to ponder: Does one have to be born a jackass to become a billionaire, or does becoming a billionaire cause jackassim?

Either way, they do seem to go together — as in Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel and so forth, ad nauseam. Oddly, the richer they get, the whinier they become, devolving into over-privileged crybabies.

Consider the appalling example of that California clique of Thiel, Zuck and other Silicon super-richies. They’ve been caterwauling that if voters approve a proposed wealth tax on billionaires, By Gollies, they’ll just up and abandon the state.

So? Do they not know that voters know that nearly all tax subsidies have long profited undeserving vainglorious elites like them at everyone else’s expense? So excuse........
