We should tax the hell out of them and maybe they will leave once and for all!
And while we're at it, lets tax the hell out of anyone worth more than a million....that'll clean up the streets.
Can you imagine the billions more they could make if they patented their secret formulas for success and sold them to debt-strapped governments, not to mention those struggling to remain viable in the private sector.
