Shorter WSJ: Think Of The Poor Rich People!
The WSJ has launched a pity-party today for the suffering 1% of this country:
Jacqueline Siegel paces the floor of her unfinished 7,200-square-foot ballroom. The former beauty queen, with platinum-blond hair, blue eye shadow and a white minidress, clacks along the plywood construction boards in her high heels trailed by a small entourage of helpers and staff.
