Rule by Rentiers – Readers’ Comments – NYTimes.com.

Le plus ce que ca change, le plus ce que ces le meme chose. The only thing that will set this country straight is another great depression that robs the rentiers of their fortunes and their power, and a tax and regulatory regime that brings things back in balance for another couple of generations. When it happens, the rentiers will teach their children and grandchildren how important it is to cut taxes, capture the regulators and legislators, break the back of organized labor, and use a compliant media to propagandize for its interest. Meanwhile, regular people will teach their children the importance of those values that are meant to keep them under their master’s thumbs, loyalty and respect for authority, and the cycle will start all over again. Those who are wise won’t permit themselves or their descendants to be suckered ever again.
