It would be difficult to find more inflammatory, class-warfare propaganda on economics in the "mainstream" media then in this story appearing on CNN.com today.

The story is Forbes magazine's annual release of the "Forbes 400." The headline of the story?:

America's rich get richer--After two years of declines, the Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans see their nest eggs grow.

The rich get richer. That's always the line you hear from free market advocates who believe a rising tide lifts all boats, right? The first line of the body of the story gives you an idea of where they're going:

America's rich must be breathing a sigh of relief.

You can just see them sitting there with their smoking jackets and pipes, grinning about the one they just pulled over on us. It goes downhill from there:

Topping this year's list are the usual suspects: Bill Gates, worth $46 billion, Warren Buffett at $36 billion, and Paul Allen at $22 billion.

Ah yes, the usual suspects. The admiration just oozes through the prose.

The wealth also runs in tight circles. Among the top 25 richest, 12 are related, with members of the Walton family of Wal-Mart fame taking spots 4 through 8.

See? Not only are they rich, but they hate you! Their purpose in life is to inbreed, burn bundles of money in the fireplace, and keep you out of their country clubs.

Some recent newsmakers also appeared on the list. Kenneth Langone, a director of the New York Stock Exchange who adamantly defended now-resigned Richard Grasso, appeared on the list at 314 with $820 million.

One of them, if not exactly a criminal himself, defends people who are borderline criminals!

Man, I hate the rich. Things were so much better when everyone was losing money. Power to the proletariat! Kill the pigs! Close down all the Wal-Marts, Microsoft, Amazon.com, and the New York Stock exchange! That way, we can all work on the farm like in, say, Cambodia.
