Last night, Bill Maher delivered an excellent final New Rule on how some of the 1% are whining about feeling persecuted.

Did you know that during World War II, FDR actually proposed a cap on income that in today's dollars would mean that no person could ever take home more than about $300,000?  OK, that is a little low.  (audience laughter)  But wouldn't it be great if there were Democrats out there like that now, who would say to billionaires, "Oh, you're crying?  We'll give you something to cry about.  You don't want a minimum wage?  How about we not only have a minimum wage, we have a maximum wage?"  (audience applause)
