If they have no bread, let them eat cake.

Most of my friends roll their eyes when I start spouting off about the French Revolution, a time when money and power were aggregated at the top of the society. Let the eye rolling commence! 

Wealth will only trickle up. It never trickles down. It is time we end our 35 yearlong experiment with, as George Bush Sr. called it, "Voodoo Economics". It has failed and if we don't turn away from it, the consequences will be dire. We are already seeing some of the societal instability that comes from wealth inequity. Riots.... Debtors’ prisons. Some would say, "Good, let the revolution come!"  I would never advocate violence.  Revolutions are bloody business. Ask Anastasia and her sisters. 

It is essential that to maintaining our stable society that people from all points on the political spectrum must start talking about Wealth Inequality.  Workers who can keep a roof over there heads, have access to healthy food/water, educate their children and can get access to healthcare don’t storm the Bastille. I think we can still back away from the precipice and preserve the American Dream for all. It will take cooperation from all political parties but time is running out.  ‪#‎MarieAntoinetteNeverSawItComing....But we do.
