Former Senator Gramm testifies as follows;

GRAMM: It’s the one form of bigotry that is still allowed in America, and that’s bigotry against the successful … My friend Ed Whitacre at AT&T, if there’s ever been an exploited worker, even though they made a big deal about him getting $75 million when he retired, the man added billions of dollars of value, he was exploited, it was an outrage!

Mr. Gramm is incorrect thought, this exploited millionaire received $158 million at retirement.

Nonetheless, when and how can we stop the persecution, exploitation and bigoted behavior towards the successful?

I mean, there are a considerable amount of studies out there that show the wealthy have gotten wealthier. But, Mr. Gramm feels otherwise.

So, what are YOU going to do to stop the exploitation of the wealthy?

I am going to sell my action figure collection and send the $ I get to Mr. Whitacre; he should not have to live his golden years on a measly $158 millions,.. it's just inhumane.

With an attitude like that, it's small wonder how the class warfare waged by the *ahem* "successful" against the middle class and the poor is being totally ignored by this guy. But I guess he'd rather not see things that way. It might get in the way of "progress".

Christ. I thought cashing in my saved sick leave at 50% & some saved vacation for $23K was a big score.

Half of America would suck a mile of dick for $158M. Exploit me? God, yes- exploit me!

Class warfare? America loves a winner, even when he's fucking them half to death. The bigger the dick, the more some people love it. Witness Trump worship.

Maybe we could determine what being successful means.

He doesnt see the middle class and the poor as a part of the equation as to why that company made billions. Only the one guy was responsible for billions in revenue in his mind. Guy musta been working 10000 hours a day

Gramm is incorrect in that bigotry is still allowed against Muslims in this country

I'm pretty sure this falls under the no harm, no foul, doctrine.
