The list is awesome. They probably compiled very similar lists in 1917 in Russia about the possessions of capitalist pigs: the lists justified expropriating the listed grossly excessive goods into hands of workers and peasants.
That's what the article implies: they were too thick and therefore got expropriated. Raskulachili!
- Kadin 15y agoThat's pretty much the situation. But I think the lesson is the other way around: if you make $150M and don't share it with the fatcats in Washington through some strategic campaign contributions to protect your business model, prepare to have some Federal Acronym Agency come busting down your door. If Megaupload had played ball and used some of that cash to buy a few Representatives and maybe a Senator or two, they'd probably be fine. That's how business works today.
