You can't possibly expect such people to be forced to behave well when they now believe they are deserving masters of the universe because the rest of us are just muppets whose output is a rightful harvest for the masters. They tax you by shaving a share of all output; don't you dare imagine you can do it back to them.

Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
