You are just drifting too far afield and are rhetorically answering your own questions and assigning likes, dislikes and suppositions to me which you have no business doing. every day. look around you. do you not encourage people? do you not share your knowledge with people and add value to their lives? an old mgr began contributing to his 401k b/c of my explanation of the benefits. the guy was mid 40s. nobody else cared enough or understood the value of a 401k enough to make a positive change in this guy's life - until me. he barely missed the money and is sitting on a ton of money in his 401k. What the hell does that have to do with the topic? i see you didn't like this statement. is it b/c it is true? funny, you didn't have the same reaction when someone posted 10% pay 60% of the taxes. ahhh, to pick and choose. ;-) Didn't like it? Same reaction as what? I never reacted either of these. I didn't see the need to and I didn't choose to. Don't pick and choose for me. If you are going to make up my reactions, I shall now depart this topic and wish you well. Go on with your mental masturbation. I didn't mean to disturb you.

re: "i just disagree about the societal benefits of shifting the burden away from folks with several $100k - several $1,000,000k in the bank to the parents of impoverished kids that don';t eat well now." Give a man a fish, and you will be feeding him for the rest of his life. Teach a man to fish, and he can stand on his own. Look at what has happened to welfare roles. A combination of a good economy and a get-tough approach has lead to these people standing on their own! This is as it should be and I am sure they feel much better about themselves for it.
