I get angry when I think about

the fact that the glorious media which has aired propaganda for Bush for 3 years is the biggest recipient of all the campaign monies being spent by both sides of the aisle. What couldn't that money do if it were put toward shelter/food for homeless people or some other good cause instead of into the pockets of those who already have more than enough.

1. The distribution of wealth in this country is a disgrace

I'm not a socialist, but I believe adjustments need to be made so that the common man and woman do not have to struggle to maintain healthy and happy lifestyles for themselves and their children.

I mean, once someone has $100 million in the bank, that is probably just about enough!

4. The Rich-Poor Divide will destroy society

And it will likely occur soon. There is only soo much money out there, and in their quests to reap ever more profit to put in their own overflowing pockets, they are sucking the resources slowly but surely out of society.

I don't understand it, once you become rich enough to no longer need to work, should you step aside and let someone else get up to your level and then set about benefiting society?

3. Redistribution of wealth

seems to be okay if it is from poor to rich, so I see nothing wrong with it if it happens to go the other way for a change.
