Plutocrats Play Victim Card

Talking heads in the MSM and politicians whose paychecks depend on their ability to reach under the table are voicing strong objections to what they see as a rising tide of "demonization" against their employers ... The filthy rich.

[WAPO] The latest group to claim victim status is the rich. Actually the super-rich, whose wealth ordinarily exempts them from pity. While they are not yet subjected to airport profiling (except for early boarding and club access), they sense that the public is turning subtly against them — otherwise how could President Obama propose raising their taxes?

Mrs. Ehrenreich blows the doors off the ridiculous notion of plutocratic victimhood. This article is a must read because it will get your blood boiling.
