This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

You can say that "Well, we live in a society, and that's just the burden 
that rich people will have to bear to live in it with us. Fine. The Wall 
Street Journal has an article yesterday by Art Laffer on what the response 
of rich people is to that ultimatum.

They leave.
Just as the pilgrims left when Wat set up shop in the forest.

So the arrangement is unsustainable (if increased prosperity for all is the 
goal).
