It's easy to ignore the lessons of history--especially if you benefit from the present's largesse.
Corporate executives should be reminded of Marie Antoinette's famous display of obliviousness when she said: "Let them eat cake."
It seems that America's corporate executives are falling into the trap laid bare by the French Revolution.
While the rest of us suffer from unbridled greed, those who view themselves through the lens of narcissistic entitlement fail to countenance the reality of their situation.
America--despite her failings--will not allow the prideful and ignorant to live long at a feast while the masses scavenge.
Robespierre will be reborn from the egos of the well-situated should they ignore their history.
