1 sign of the “dumb luck” neo-wealthy class (i.e. Stewart and Obama) is pointing out to everyone else that they are.

Oh, she’s guilty all right. And she needs to head straight to my house for punishment. Immediately.

This year she can have her army of accountants and lawyers stop taking deductions and simply add 10-20%. That should clear her conscious.
