40. And the other three-quarters?
One-quarter inherited it and the other three-quarters stole it although in most cases they stole it legally. There is such a thing as legal fraud. The wealthy, after all, buy the legislators to write the legislation in order to protect their "right" to wealth. By hook or by crook. Clare Booth Luce once said the rich are smarter. Looking around at some of the schemes they've come up with I would say she was right.

No offense to anyone in particular but I do wonder if wealthy Democrats are Democrats because they have a guilty conscience.

If so at least they have a conscience. Which is more than you can say about wealthy Republicans.

"I have, therefore I am." The more you have, the more you are. That sums up life in America. And sums up why we have two Americas.
