Ken Griffin's head would have been in a Parisian wicker-basket in Sep 1789.

Time to reign in Cutthroat Capitalism as it inevitably results in the very few owning it all, and the very many of us find no ears to listen to our suffering. If the billionaires move offshore...more the better. Tax them the way they were taxed in 1954, our economy is failing and FDRs safety net is in great trouble.

Yes! Mention FDR and his "I welcome their hate" speech! That is precisely what we need in this country. Be careful New Yorkers, treat your Mayor well because our nation may need to steal him and put him to work rebuilding our everything. Whether he'll come willingly is still a big question but if we make it clear how badly we need him, perhaps he'll take his place in history!koi
