Just a thought.....When people lose their trust of the Government, might that not lead to anarchy and revolution? Seems to me that the very wealthy should be concerned that there are a lot more of us peons then there are members of the influential class.

So the WSJ now recognizes that these are two different things - indeed, not only different, but opposed! I'm looking forward to the article where they lay out exactly how and why it is that these causes are so divergent.
You just fund hundreds and hundreds of right-wing think tanks, committees, associations, and PACS, and give wads of money to any and every right-wing outfit who comes knocking.

Comparing criticism of the 1% and their greed to Nazis, Langone trivializes the horror of the Holocaust and destruction caused by the Nazi's.

Cry me some more crocodile tears, Mr. Langone
