Here's something. While all of us are tweeting and blogging and tumblring (is that a word yet?) about Weiner's weiner, this information was released to the press: "Nearly 200 millionaires have signed a letter asking congressional Republicans to consider healing budget gaps with increased revenue -- in particular, higher taxes on millionaires -- instead of just reduced spending."
It's nice to know that at least 200 people who have gotten rich thanks to this country are unwilling to see it slide into a state of income disparity that rivals third world nations.
Whether their motives are altruistic or selfish, what I want to know is when Congress is going to act on their recommendation. Oh, right. 535 millionaires overrule a mere 200.
