If you go to Florence you will find numerous public buildings and art masterpieces supported by the Medici family from the proceeds obtained from stealing everything they could get their hands on. Family of pricks that they were at least they gave something back which is more than I can say for the scumbags who are running America into the ground.
Indeed, American right wing's central tenant can be summed up as plutocracy is good, therefore suitably disguised kleptocracy is even better.
