Prince, aptly named, was a rescue cat who experienced starvation and thinks that any food we give tot he other cat deprives him.
Since he is twice her size, he can scarf up his food and run over to take her food.
We have to hang around to protect her, but occasionally we are busy and he gets his second helping at her expense.

The problem is he thinks there is limited supply, and that she is eating some of it. He doesn't understand that if there weren't two cats, the second helping would not be put out. So he rushes through his serving as fast as he can to run over and try to steal hers. Sometimes he doesn't even eat all of his in his desperation to eat hers. He would do betterl to eat slowly and enjoy his food. He doesn't understand he doesn't need more food, it would only make him fat.

The RW CEOs are the same. They think there is limited supply so they have to take from working class and poor to get all they want.
They don't know that if they take from the poor/working class that these people won't be able to buy their products or the products of the stocks they own, and they'll lose more money than they took from the poor.

We think the rich are smart about money but they are not any smarter than my cat Prince. Prince would get everything he needs if he would leave the smaller cat alone but instead we constantly worry whether we should send him to the shelter where he would be euthanized. We don't want to, but he is abusive.

Prince was damaged by some bad owners who deserted him to the elements. His mind is not healthy and he doesn't have the consciousness to change. Nor are the minds of Magats who have been abused by perhaps their early childhoods and later by the economy and the growing income gap. They don't understand the source of the problem or the solution.

Unfortunately, the very rich, who could avail themselves of better information, don't understand either. They think by being rich they don't have to reflect on their failings. Since we as a society worship wealth over love.

Prince may or may not survive his disfunction. We hope we can save him. But will Magats survive? will they take the smaller cat's food or get kicked out of the house altogether?
