"We now live in a country where the rewards don't go to those who work hard" That is true and I would suggest that it is the direct result of government intervention in our economy. Frankly, it is the essence of the fractional reserve banking system. Banks get to create money out of the debt of their customers. Sooner or later the debt becomes unsustainable and the banks (ruling class) get all the assets to repay the debt. So which candidate will solve this one. Little joe

On the contrary, I described what's really important for us all to understand in all reality. Of course we can point to the fact that folks are worried. But pretending those of greater wealth and power don't work hard is silly, though the notion that the "system" is a place they can currently in all reality go to get more power and wealth isn't silly (my point exactly - free markets preclude the worst of that as we know it). The "system" is not what I describe nor advocate, as hopefully you will surely now realize when you think about it. But of course, that "system" is current reality as we know it. Dan B.
