I see. "Enlightened" means that people you don't approve of and who can afford it are tapped to support whatever the collective determines an appropriate use of those individuals' assets. Got it. <g>

Seems to me it's more enlightened to encourage those with vast fortunes to set up aggressive foundations, to be philanthropists. Has a more positive and constructive and, dare I say, enlightened ring to it, seems to me.
