comparing it with the french revolution is appropriate in many ways. The message should be clear--if they persist in their Marie Antoinette ways, someone will pick up a brick. if that happens, we all lose, the middle class in many ways worst of all. that's why this guy upsets me to no end. I don't fault him being rich, I fault him and people like him, like the Kochs for ruthlessly lobbying for lower taxes and less support for the poor.
I kinda like the French revolution analogy as well. French revolution wasn't exactly a picnic for anyone involved either. (And it also ended up in a military dictatorship and a state of total war in Europe...I hope that that's not where we're heading, but there are a lot of historical parallels that lead that way.)
