Ah, Paul Krugman’s notion of "Billionaire Derangement Syndrome" is a curious one, isn’t it? He’s got a bee in his bonnet about the super-rich, calling them narcissistic and accusing them of bending the political system to suit their own whims. Now, there’s no denying that money talks in politics, and Krugman’s point about its influence is fair enough.

He leans on research by Paul Piff, a psychologist, to back his claims. Piff’s studies suggest that wealthier folks might be a tad more self-centered or prone to bending the rules.

Krugman’s beef with money in politics is valid. Wealthy donors can sway outcomes, and that’s a conversation worth having.

Life should be about finding the middle ground, best known by the average man, like a good pint of Guinness—not too bitter, not too sweet?
