Jobs used as bargaining chip

but...but Dana- what you fail to see is that merc imagines himself as one of the economic and political elite. He is one of the top 1%! at least in his own mind - so why on earth would he want things to become more equal? He fancies himself wealthy! He's a yacht club member (albeit without the yacht...) and he does his master's bidding...(they let him polish their big boats and carry their cocktails )

It's gratifying to know that we, the taxpayers, paid him, setting up the rise to his lofty position.

I wonder if he gets a military pension, funded by us.

If I understand his bio, he is recently, mostly, off the teat, after having his education, housing, health care etc... all paid for by us. It doesn't count though, because he suckled on the defense teat not one of the other nipples.
