The point being your gubbment and my gubbment dip into each others business and pockets to seemingly exploit thier citizens for the benefits of the few politicos/megacorps - it is class warfare. I can accept that as a necessary evil to an extent - but it seems disparities are getting too great now and we need some kind of rebalancing. news.google.com If you read some of the articles here about the increasing rich/poor gap - I read that we are worse off than in victorian times in some places - vietnam is doing worse - the UK gap is widening - argentina - it does not seem to matter where your country is located or wether 1st world or 3rd world economy - gaps are widening - certainly that is not the promise of increasing economic utility and specialization and technology - that the poor starve and die faster while the rich move further up into mt. olympus. This can only lead to greater social chaos as the have nots become more disenchanted with the have mores. Will the wizards up in the ivory towers do some risk analysis on this before the barbarians over run thier hallowed halls and destroy thier castles? The burning of the library in alexandria was a great set back no?
