[chuckstevens]

According the Huffington Post, Charlie and Davy now have over 100 billion dollars. Will we ever get to the "Let Them Eat Cake" Moment?" Honest to God, why can't the Tea Baggers see that they are just being used as corporate dupes?

1. Not doubting you but that's a lot of billions

Where do all of the regular suspects (Gates, Buffet,Bloomberg,etc.) show up in that line up?

7. Gates is the highest individual at $79.5bn

It's the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Today's rankings include:
Bill Gates $79.5bn
Carlos Slim $67.1bn
Warren Buffett $64.5bn
Kochs $101.6bn between them
4 richest Waltons $145.8bn between them

'Strangely', Michael Bloomberg doesn't seem to turn up on that list, although Forbes reckons he has $33bn and says he's the 16th richest person in the world.

2. Times have been great for the mega rich for some times.

All of the 1% have seen mega growth in their wealth.

The money is directly leaving the middle class for the 1%.

5. reminds me of a joke i heard somewhere once...

An african american and a tea party member are sitting in front of a plate with 100 cookies. A millionaire walks in and scoops up 99 of the cookies. on the way out he whispers to the tea party member. "Better watch out. The black guy wants your cookie."
