LOL Peasants! Three Rich Treasury Secretaries Laugh It Up Over Income Inequality

[Cheese Sandwich]

Three of the world's richest and most powerful people (and Timothy Geithner) had a good laugh over income inequality earlier this year.

Former Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin, Henry Paulson and Geithner were asked about the issue by Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg during a conference in Beverly Hills. When Paulson responded that he'd been working on income inequality since his days at Goldman Sachs, Geithner quipped, "In which direction?"

"You were increasing it!" cracked Rubin, as everyone on stage roared with laughter.

5. Milkens philanthropy my ass.

He's a privateer.

Wants to privatize everything, including public schools, with the likes of other "philathropists", the Walton Family, Bill Gates, the Bush Family.........

6. These guys are economic terrorists

7. It's sickening.

8. I know it's crazy but that I think is the funniest photograph I've ever seen, it's so surreal!

These guys have brought the whole world to the edge of an economic apocalypse, by polarizing the wealth of the country into the coffers of the 1% and they are helpless with laughter about it!

Geitner looks as if an upper row of false teeth could drop down at any moment. And Rubin looks as if he's helplessly crying with laughter. As close to a literal ROFL as you could ever imagine in public life, never mind, 'see'.
