I don't protest rich people. I've always said I'd like to join their ranks. I work damn hard for everything I've got but sometimes that isn't enough. One of my biggest clients was the third largest printing company in the world named Banta. We made enough money to be very comftorable and grateful. Well, around 2008, the CEO decides she wants out and sellds the company to the largest printer in the world. A whole lot of people got laid off, people I know and like and care for, factories were shut down all across the nation, my shop lost all of that work.....the CEO got paid 65 million in the deal. They are not the only customer of mine that did stuff like that.
I don't hate the rich, but that bitch CEO can be taxed a bit more so my kids have a decent teacher without 55 kids in the class. Or so my country's deficit can be a little reduced. she won't be hurting.
