For the wingers, just a little advice. It's already been tried, didn't work.


From: THE PEOPLE OF THE ABYSS

"The workhouses have no space left in which to pack the starving crowds who are craving every day and night at their doors for food and shelter. All the charitable institutions have exhausted their means in trying to raise supplies of food for the famishing residents of the garrets and cellars of London lanes and alleys. The quarters of the Salvation Army in various parts of London are nightly besieged by hosts of the unemployed and the hungry for whom neither shelter nor the means of sustenance can be provided."

If you consistently work to keep the money in the hands of the wealthy, what resources there are for the frozen and worn-out souls that are left eventually become overwhelmed. Not that I think you care, but your wealth comes from the labor of those souls. If they make less, so do you. If your money doesn't grow, it loses the ability to buy things.

And one day your children will regret what you have done. And turn their backs on you.

1. This is a great history lesson.
Too bad it will be lost on them as their rapacious greed inhibits any prospect of higher order thinking iike compassion or foresight. But for the rest of us its a lesson worth relearning and teaching.
