Man: I didn't mind when the rich didn't have to serve in Vietnam. But this is going to far! Woman: I was wondering who the heck was getting all the decent health care and education. Boy: When you think about it - it's true! My buddies and I have never had a power breakfast with a U.S. senator, or made out witha movie star in a Porsche. Boy: And I can't recall ever getting insider information in a sauna. Legislators are promising swift action. News of the Times: Rich People Get Special Privileges. A special "News of the Times" study has shockingly revealed that rich people are getting far more than their share fo privileges in our society. 99.99% of the nation's yachts are owned by rich people. The advantages go far beyond material possessions - the wealthy enjoy more influence over government, favors from powerbrokers, and access to celebrityladen parties. Here's how the scheme works: The rich trade part of their wealth in exchange for all kinds of goods, services and perks! Most sordid of all: an elaborate plot to get access to our nation's attractive people! The rich don't pay directly, but leverage their wealth with gifts and unspoken promises of future distributions...to get sex! Americans are outraged by the study's findings. Man: It's unfair and un-American! The only redress is to lower taxes on rascals so their wealth can shower down to real Americans.
