...All this in reaction to startling news this week AD that "U.S. young-old wealth gap worse than ever: Typical U.S. household with head over age 64 has net worth 47 times greater than household headed by someone under 35."
Forget class warfare. That focus may soon be shifting to octogenarian opposition. Codger cage match. Old timer tussle. Never thought I'd see the day when "daily kos" and "move on" may actually team up with Paul Ryan's ongoing crusade to toss Greedy Ol' Grams off the cliff.
Damn pesky old people and their savings. We need to find a way to tap into that. Redistribute. Fairness. Equality. Plus, they're just real old. After all, why should some gray-haired geriatric's old grizzled hide have more in his savings account than Warren Buffet's 20-something secretary?
You will pay your fair share, old people -- or we'll occupy your freakin' rest homes, eat all of your mac'n'cheese and jello, and give your shithouses a whole meaning for the word stench. Buck up, you broken down old battle axes, or else. We Are the 20 Percenters. And we have really bad B.O. (not to mention his full backing).
