Forbes: Hey Mitt Romney, Even Marie Antoinette Thought The Peasants Deserved Cake

http://www.forbes.com/sites/helaineolen/2012/09/17/hey-mitt-romney-even-marie-antoinette-thought-the-peasants-deserved-cake/

This is where more than thirty years of confusing wealth with virtue and deriding Americans who aren’t impossibly rich as indolent and entitled slackers will leave you: with a multi-millionaire candidate for president who made his fortune by depriving other people of their livelihood, who doesn’t even bother to hide his contempt for the ever-increasing number of economic losers created by our one percent economy, a world his own policies and actions helped create.

Even Marie Antoinette thought the peasants deserved cake.
