Hum, very good point, though I like the phrase because it does accurately describe many of these folks. They aren't horrible people, just mentally ill.
So, what word describes morbidity that in contagious, or infectious? Let's give Thom a better bumper sticker. Not me, I can't think of one, but hey, you brought it up, maybe you have a …

How about "malignantly wealthy sociopaths" because their avarice is the root cause of the grievances that have metastasized America into a backsliding democracy (and they just don't care)?
I'd argue they aren't the root cause, the inverted tax code is really to blame, but yes, they would be the root cause if they could.
Malignant sort of misses for me, but wealthy sociopath absolutely nails it.
Maybe morbidly wealthy SOCIOPATH. It fits in the same area. Instead of saying "the morbidly rich did XYZ", we say "morbidly wealthy sociopaths did XYZ"
Yeah, your phrase explains both the cause and the disease.
You get five gold stars and an extra cookie for nap time (the one thing about getting old is I really loved nap time). Thanks.
After just getting up from my nap, I'd argue that wealthy sociopaths decided to invert the tax code and made it law because they had already arranged for the Supreme Court to make money equal to speech and corporations into citizens thus creating the powers of corporate personhood. The people who created and exploit those powers are the root cause, and the tax code is just one of their evil spawn. And the more that I think about it, "morbidly rich" makes the point and is half the syllables so Thom has been right all along.
Well, can't argue with any of that, but even half the syllables, in the USA we need to say "rich bad" or they won't be able to understand. How many Americans could define "morbidly". They might get "morbid". Rich bad, ugh ugh, even though the actual problem is 1% of the 1%, not the 1%
Stabilizer, I reread my reply to you and I have to agree that your observation about the root cause being tax code changes preceded the powers of corporate personhood as we know them today, but the decisions that caused the inversion of the tax code were still made by wealthy sociopaths.

Yep, can't prove you wrong, wouldn't anyway because you area right.
