- Item the second: People who ran out and bought the iPhone the day it was released groused to Steve Jobs about the subsequent price cut. Apparently they're feeling rooked that more people can afford it now. Mr. W. points out that every person who bought the iPhone on the first day of sale went around showing everyone the new toy to "oohs" and "aahs," and "Lucky dogs!" They paid their extra $100 bucks for the privilege of being the first on the block to have one. (Jobs is capitulating and giving them rebates.)
Wretched excess is exactly why Making The Rich Pay Their Fair Share seems appealing to many people.
