Damn soshlists! Finally, France is leading the way, forcing the uber rich to pay their fair share in these tough economic times.
What? Fair Share of taxes? For these people? (turn down your sound, loud)

1933 We Were Warned. The Warning Applies Today. Berlin Ambassador William Dodd's Speech
Dodd's speech brilliantly walks the audience through history perfectly depicting the wrongful policies that repeatedly create chaos and misery. The speech is masterful. I can't believe I hadn't heard of this before.
