"If you're jealous of those with more money, don't just sit there and complain..."

"Do something to make more money yourself — spend less time drinking or smoking and socialising, and more time working."

So says the richest woman in the world, Gina Rinehart (who, interestingly, looks like a stereotypical homeless woman).

LA Times snarks "Yeah, let them eat cake," but that that make sense? "Let them eat cake" is the line attributed to the completely out-of-touch queen to make her look like she thinks people without access to bread could get to cake as an alternative.

As one biographer of [Marie Antoinette] notes, it was a particularly useful phrase to cite because "the staple food of the French peasantry and the working class was bread, absorbing 50 per cent of their income, as opposed to 5 per cent on fuel; the whole topic of bread was therefore the result of obsessional national interest."

Of course, the queen didn't actually say "Let them eat cake." It was always only propaganda. When else should we mobilize this propaganda? For Gina Rinehart?
