Yea and what about land reform?  I think that I deserve
a forced time-share in one of those opulent vacation
homes on the North Shore.

You want whining about taxes:  I'm really sick of 20% property 
taxes increases to pay for pension mismanagement subsidizing
middle-class retirees.  Why should I being paying so that
people in their 70s can take month long vacation cruises?
I'm sick of the middle-class, I think that we can all learn
a lesson from the USSR and eliminate the upper and middle
classes and all live in poverty together!  Equal incomes
for all!  God bless Minneapolis.
