"Besides having money what has Capri done wrong?"
Run for public office. And run for public office under a party that believes in redistribution of income. In short, she's going to have her hand in my pocket so that she can feel good about herself. I'd like to see a legislative rule stating that before you can vote for any tax to help individuals, you have to donate to charity all assets beyond the average net worth of your constituents. Ain't gonna happen, but it would be fair: give your money before you give mine.
I don't hate Capri personally...never met the woman. And I don't envy her wealth. As far as I know, her family earned it fair and square, and if she wanted to lead a Paris Hilton lifestyle and blow it all, I wouldn't have boo to say about it. What I resent is somebody using their financial power in order to gain financial and paramilitary power over me. And even if her motives were absolutely pure, I resent do-gooders.
Do I think the rich should stay out of politics? Hell, I think EVERYONE should stay out of politics.
