That's 18 people who own about a tenth of the US GDP. Something needs to be done, and soon.

How many security guards can one of these assholes have on duty at any one time?

Dont y'all have assault rifles and semiautomatics on you at all times and you are all about being against tyranny? WHAT GIVES?
