The evidence mostly isn't to the contrary. The evidence of the real world shows its easier (if not necessarily easy) to keep the rich down, than to pull the poor up, and that efforts to do the former, don't do the later, but rather generally harm the non-rich. Nonsense....pure, unadulterated nonsense. The rich have had a long, storied history of keeping the poor down. And its only when the rich are kept constrained and income growth is well distributed are democracies successful. Tim, now you are embarrassing yourself.....and all in defense of your ridiculous overlords.

So there is no process by which wealth transfer occurs in reverse in your "real world"? Which "real world" do you refer to? The economy is affecting the poor far more than the rich...the gap between rich and poor has never been larger... This topic has even been prominently in the news recently...which real world do you live in? Al

Your comment contrdicts God biblical solution to this problem! God ordained the redistribution of wealth every 50 years in ancient Israel. Why? Because the smarter and the stronger mammonites continue to accumulate wealth on the ignorance and weak. They repeat with Cain that they are not their brother's keeper. Yet Jesus clearly demonstrated that we are our brother's keeper. American Protestanism has sanctified the memmomites greed for wealth by equating the accumulation of wealth with righteousness. The mammonite reasons, like rabbinical Judaism, that the more wealth that a person accumulates the more favored with God. The Puritans embraced this anti-Christian Talmudic ideal and imposed mammonism upon American society. The spirit of righteiousness by wealth continue today in American super godless capitalism. God's biblical solution to the greed of the mammonites is the redistribution of wealth every 50 years.
