"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

Bear saves crow from drowning then turns to munch on an apple to show crow it’s ok. Crow wonders if it’s died & seen God, then resolves to live with bear, defend it, & write books about it.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven.

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

The general story of what went down on the streets is pretty well known. A loose coalition of people opposed to free trade agreements decided to target the WTO meeting in Seattle as a general point of protest.

These protests raised an important hue and cry against this injustice, but became most known for the violence that took place on the streets. For that, the black block anarchist assholes from my home town of Eugene (this is personal) and the fascist Seattle cops both deserve plenty of blame.

The WTO and the neoliberal free trade agenda had caused such enormous harm in the two decades before 1999. That included undermining American unionism, allowing corporations to escape labor and environmental regulations, thrown millions of poor farmers off their land, so much.
