A nice little analysis of the growing wealth inequality and how it isn't even being accounted for properly because the super-rich aren't being truthful about how much they have. Article can be found here:

I am renewing my call for a "Jubilee Year", where there would be a massive redistribution from top to bottom of all the wealth accumulated under the lax tax policies of the last thirty years. The Hiltons, Waltons, et al could fork it over or go into exile. Beats having their height reduced French-style.
