      • O, Mr. Henry! How many times hast thou turned over in thy grave, lo these many years!

        • Reminds me of the billionaire high school dropout Queen of Mean, that dared to speak the tax truth, “We don’t pay taxes, only the little people pay taxes”.
          She was then jailed, for tax fraud, as an example.
          Believe it, or not; she was small fry,
          compared to the real power players.
          Left 12 million to her dog, Trouble.
