Some old white guy sitting in an office in a highrise somewhere can ruin more lives with the stroke of a pen (or a click of a mouse) than 1000 drivebys or 10,000 welfare cheats! It would be amusing if not so tragic when folks say, "I don't think folks are poor cause they want to be or are lazy BUT....look at all the bad stuff they do!" What hypocracy!!!

That is not the gist of what I said ...and you know it! You still make it out about the rich vs the poor and that's unfortunate. You lose all efficacy when you draw the line between the 2 'cultures' if you will. Do you start with the premise that if someone is wealthy....then he must have cheated or got it through force?? You arbitrarilly make the wealthy to be the bad guys...that's just wrong. I'm living on a pension,and unable to work, but I don't begrudge any who make good with their endeavors and skills!
