Maurice,
Good to hear from you. <grin>

"Its not from the poor to the rich."

We here in the US now have some special factors evolving that bear upon your assertion. What you say is generally true but lets wait and see if it remains that way.

For long stretches of human history your assertion would not be true as you then had a permanent nobility of some sort who retained their position generation after generation, regardless of the decadence and shiftlessness of the offspring.

Globalism has provided the beginnings of a return to these circumstances. Now you have transnational families as well as corporations and these families are shielded in the same way as the corporations from the ravages of taxation and even inflation. Intelligence is not the main stock in trade of these elites, but inside information of various types. We are in new territory with all this. And you might be surprised how many offspring some of these people now have. And if you will look a little closer you will see that all their "save the planet" do-gooderism is just a sham for the public consumption.

Our dear president is a bit of an example of what I am talking about. Here you have a guy who never "hit a lick at a snake" till he was forty years old, and all those years barely drew a sober breath. And every "success" he has had since then, including his current job was a "gift".

I don't know about your country, but really, we have never had such a person as president.
