Our friends on the right are developing a strong case of the heebie-jeebies when it comes to...guillotines.
Thomas Piketty's runaway bestseller, Capital in the Twenty-First Century, with such blood letting suggestions as a wealth tax, appears to be the cause.
Who could have ever guessed that a little old book could inspire such fear?
Lucky for them that we don't have one in six Americans living in poverty, or one in five being food insecure in the past year, or huge cuts to the food stamp program, or a dearth of jobs, all the while corporations are enjoying record profits and income inequality is at a pace not seen since the Great Depression...
Oops--hey, anybody seen the blade sharpener?
Peace,
