rich poor barrier
heh. lotta posts for one simple conclusion: the rich poor gap is irrelevant. as long as it's a gap and not a wall it doesn't matter how big it is by any measure. as long as everyone has the opportunity to make and lose fortunes. this is especially important to americanism. governments are run by rich people. we want talented hard working people to run the show. ergo we want talented hard working people to be rich. no matter how poor they started. and we want lazy good for nothings to be poor. no matter how rich they started out. we definitely don't want lazy good for nothings running government.
