Louder, louder than a tiger

Don't look back, they're gaining on us

On November 5 the New York Times wrote of government's desire to tax income earned by the larger college endowments. ["Ballooning College Endowments Tempt Legislators Chasing Tax Dollars"]  The colleges are outspoken in their opposition to taxation--well, let's say their opposition to being the ones taxed.
Princeton's faculty belittles, blames, and despises the rich, fat-ass, anti-tax one percent of Americans whom the university administration now emulates. Enjoyment of the lovely irony in this is dampened by the realization that a faculty too ignorant to see that entrenched government always turns on its own is taken seriously by intelligent young people entrusted to its care.
Anyone could see this coming. You heard me roar, louder, louder than a tiger.
