Archer thinks I hate the uber rich, I don't, that is why I mentioned Grandma's boyfriend. The current Chineese communist society has over 300,000 multi-millionaires, so those who want to bring up that old BS about communism should look around them and should get a little bit more knowledge. Oh! according to Merrill Lynch that million does not include real property. There is a difference I guess Mike the stuff you talk about "de jure republic" and the need for pragmatism in society. Super rich and super poor is in my value system a lousy way for society to operate, just as feudalism and the nobiltiy system of old Europe was a lousy system, and slavery was a lousy system and illegal aliens working for nothing in this country to make a few rich at the expense of our nation as a whole is a lousy system. Inheritance is welfare pure and simple. Most people are against welfare for people they don't know but think it is great for people they do know like their kids, so they are more than willing sometimes to give their kids handouts. Waffler The Troll, I like that I like it alot.
