Can Fools Learn? The New York Post editorially hopes that attempts to make Americans realize how badly they are doing as against the rich will fail "because most Americans don't see anything wrong with being rich, and are working very hard to become rich." The rich want everyone to believe that they will someday be rich, in order to con the poor and middle class into keeping taxes on the rich preposterously low. Americans must wake up.

Let's be plain: if you are not already rich, in all likelihood you will NEVER be rich. If you are deep in debt, you will likely die in debt, after decades of struggling with usurious interest rates and penalties and fees the rich never have to pay but are glad to heap onto you.

Poor and middle-class voters must wake to the fact that they are being played for fools by people who have millions of dollars left at the end of the year, even as most of us end every year in debt. Are Americans going to vote the interests of the rich, or their own interests? We'll see. (Responsive to editorial "Democratic Revisionism", New York Post, July 28, 2004)
