[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1856095, member: 14176"] I'm not purposing that the wealthy "give up" their money. I'm suggesting that this country was built on free market, supply and demand principles. These principles were to be guarded and balanced by what are now antiquated and manipulated anti-trust laws that are fueling the inequities that are illustrated in the video I linked this morning. People from my generation remember thriving small businesses that are now non-existent in many markets such as hardware, groceries, small and large household appliances, to name a few. These were usually family owned businesses, that were often cornerstones of many communities, but have been driven to extinction by multi-billion dollar conglomerations to which they cannot compete. I believe the term they use for them is "Big Box Stores"? Make no mistake, the playing field is no longer level and the "American Dream" as it was once characterized is dead, unless steps are taken to tip the scales back into balance. My lunch break is almost over, so maybe later this evening we can discuss the "crooked casino" that is the US Stock Market that is playing an equal role in the wealth inequity in America, where through manipulation, money makes money without any tangible byproducts.
