Build A Statue For The Rich
http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/bernard-goldberg-attacks-senator-sanders-a

Apparently Bernie Sanders speaking out today about the terrible deal being struck to make sure that the rich in America get to keep their tax cuts hit a nerve with flame thrower Bernard Goldberg. He appeared on Fox with Megyn Kelly to promote his lastest op-ed where he said we should be building monuments to rich people and pissed and moaned about what percentage of the taxes they pay. Those poor downtrodden rich people that own most of the wealth in the country. How will they ever get by without the Bernard Goldbergs of the world looking out for them?


I have an idea for a monument in our nation’s capital. I envision a big bronze and granite statue that would honor an entire group of Americans who are true heroes, and unsung heroes at that.

It is time — no, make that long past time — to pay tribute to those this nation of ours owes a great debt; to those who give and give and give and in return get anything but our gratitude.

This is an idea whose time has finally come.

Right there, amongst the sacred national structures that honor great Americans, we need to build a shiny monument to … (this is where the drum roll would come in) The Rich – otherwise known in liberal circles as the filthy, no good, greedy, heartless rich.

The statue could be simple and elegant: a smiling rich guy in a business suit holding hundred dollar bills in both hands, extended toward the blue sky.


There's more (if you can stomach it)

embellished on the body. Then, those who worship the super wealthy can dance around it to their shriveled hearts' content.
