That millionaire was E.W. Scripps. A man of contradictions, he preached radicalism and expressed sympathy for the labor insurgents who bombed the Los Angeles Times building and killed 21 people. He then spent much of his last decade sailing the world on his 172-foot yacht or puffing cigars at Miramar, his sprawling ranchoutside of San Diego modeled...
On Inauguration morning in March of 1921, the new treasury secretary arrived in Washington aboard a private rail car. With a bearing the San Francisco Examiner called “so shy that (it) is almost shrinking,” Andrew Mellon lacked the swagger of one of the most powerful businessmen in the world. At 65, Mellon was the oldest cabinet member of the Hardi...
In late October of 1924 America’s richest and most powerful men woke to see their income tax payments splashed across the front pages of newspapers, just as E.W. Scripps had envisioned years earlier. “The lid is off income tax secrets,” The Boston Globe declared. Over Mellon’s objections, Congress had passed a gift tax and the so-called publicity a...
In November 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Herbert Hoover in a landslide. No longer did the country view Mellon as Cousin Andrew guarding the gates of gold. By then, more than 3,500 banks had failed. The unemployment rate would soon reach 25%. People who lost their homes moved to “Hoovervilles,” shacks made from scrap wood and metal. The Grea...

In the House throughout the 1960s, Rep. Wright Patman, the Texas Democrat who had tried to impeach Mellon, hammered away at how the superrich were using private ...
The day after he signed historic tax-cut legislation in June 2001, President George W. Bush stood on a makeshift stage surrounded by hay bales and American flags on a century-old family farm in central Iowa. With a shiny green John Deere combine behind him and a vintage corn silo in the distance, the 1,300 acre setting was the perfect mix of modern...
Though he loathed taxes, Thomas Mellon, the progenitor of the Mellon fortune, made an unintentional case for the estate tax when he worried about the corrupting influence of inherited wealth. “Where a family has enjoyed their career of wealth and prosperity for a generation or so,” he wrote in his autobiography, “we may expect ‘degenerate sons.’” T...
Some of my observations on “The heirs” (or Inheritors) Review. Yes, I know, I’m late to the party and it’s one of the older and most iconic kdramas there is but still, let’s get into it. (Disclaimer- it’s long) 1- I’m noticing that many of the kdramas I’ve watched had a common theme: wealthy people are downright messy.

What the people didn't, and perhaps never would, know, was that the day of their people was already over. From the author of Lord of the Flies, The Inheritors is a startling recreation of the lost world of the Neanderthals, and a frightening vision of the beginning of a new age. Show more.
