   The Veep talking about the bankers going to Vegas etc. turns out to have consequences.  Not only bankers, but large companies are cancelling meetings, conventions etc. because of perceived perceptions.  Now, some may say… GOOD.  About time those high rollers are brought down to size. The administration is succeeding in creating class envy.  Well surprise surprise!
