I note in today's Washington Post, they are pushing the rich vs poor meme of the year by pointing out that Bill Gates could buy every house in Boston and still have a Billion bucks in pocket change. They don't point out why anybody already invested in uber-liberal,, uber taxed, and uber-wet& cold Seattle would want to invest their fortune in a twin city!
The other big fact (besides who cares) that they miss in this story is simply that if you took the total combined assets of the ten billionaires they have listed... confiscated it all and applied it to the National Debt.....it would only pay 2.9 percent of that debt off -- and they'd all be paupers.
As a matter of fact, if you took that same $500 BILLION dollars and applied to Obamantion's budget for just this years deficit --- we would still be an additional half billion in debt come January.
Take that, numbers guy!!

There is more tax exempt property in Boston, than taxed.
So if anyone bought all the "property" he better have a whole lot left over to pay taxes.
