How they are suffering!

All because of taxes that are too high, and burdensome government regulation, no doubt.


The Siegels took their first hard look at their own lifestyle.

They fired 14 of their 15 housekeepers and lost their private chef, named "chef Jeff."

They pulled their kids out of private school and put them in the local public school.

She does miss one luxury—the Gulfstream.

After they defaulted on the $8 million jet loan, the banks seized the plane.

The Siegels can use it only occasionally, with the banks' permission.

Recently, the family boarded a commercial flight for a vacation, making for some confusion.

One of the kids looked around the crowded cabin and asked, "Mom, what are all these strangers doing on our plane?"

Those children are suffering!

Won't you help?

We must elect more Republicans so that rich kids won't have to share a jet with other people!

Heartbreaking and it's always the children who suffer. :crybaby:
 
Can you imagine only having 1 housekeeper, attending public school, and flying commercial?

Oh, the humanity! :crybaby:
 
After Reagan started cutting taxes for the rich, the game changed:

Suddenly, in 1982, the wealthiest broke away from the rest of the economy and formed their own virtual country. Their incomes began soaring higher during good times.

The top 1% of earners more than doubled their share of national income, to 20% as of 2008.

Looking at another measure, the richest 1% increased their share of wealth from just over 20% to more than 33%.
