of the nation's wealth to a much more equitable distribution, i.e. in favour of redressing the grotesque plundering by the rich that has been going on, putting much more money into the pockets of the now-impoverished majority of the American people, is bound to promote job creation.

In terms of manufacturing and sales, instead of the only people with money in their 'kicks' spending it all solely on luxury goods, the young larrikins will be able to buy and run a Harley or a car, etc., and their girls, whatever 'rings their chimes'.

When governments do the right thing by their people, synergies are created, so that the benefits engender unplanned-for new benefits, the whole ending up greater than the parts. Sometimes the mechanisms are apparent as, explained by Mr Friedman in relation to the renovation of infrastructure, such as roads.

I see a lot of anti-Semitism online, but there are so many outstandingly helpful Jews, such as Mr Friedman and Feel the Bern in comparison with the rest. Most hard-line Communist types in the English-speaking world end up as virtual, if not actual, fascists, so Bernie was unusual in sticking to his guns, at least in terms of his practical idealism. I have a suspicion Paul Wellstone was also Jewish.

PS: Thank you sweetheart no 2.
