BigR,
I voted "no" in your poll, but ...

...with JCL, Eric, et al that made
some good points in the thread. That was my point in my first post back
to you to define "wealth" and "wealth distribution".
And, I wasn't voting as a hidden vote for/against Lil'Mc or Obama...
As a near elder ol'fool, I've been thinking about the posts here, and the
"question". QwkAg had some very good points in his post; the older I get
the more I realize, and see, that I've been lucky, many of our friends have
been fortunate, but there is a pretty good slice of the US and an enormous
hunk of the world that ranges from barely getting by to no fookin hope.
Not sure I have a good post, let alone a freakin good idea...I gotta think
on it awhile.
