It’s The Way She Tells ‘Em.

Barbara Ehrenreich:

Lowenstein notes, that “if the very upper crust were banished to a
Caribbean island, the America that remained would be a lot more
egalitarian.” Well, duh. The point is that it would also be more
prosperous, at the individual level, and democratic.

Run this by me again? Turfing out all of the rich would make the US more prosperous?

Jebus wept.
