Ruth should read the bible... - Rich men getting into heaven... or just about any other spiritual teachings... <<If you overloadyour house with gold and jade, how shall it be guarded?>> Tao de ching ...when wealth accumulates at the top it's just as if a large rock or pool of water perched there, sooner or later it flows down hill, period. The fact that some don't like the mechanism is their problem... IN FACT these guys that are going to get all upset at the ugliness that is probably coming are the same ones that let the pool accumulate up there to begin with, making the dam larger and larger to hold it (cutting taxes on the rich, and perpetuating trade with slaves rather that pay a decent wage). By sticking with dogma over common sense, the RWingNutz have created a situation where "taking" from the wealthy will be not only acceptable, it's commendable and righteous. The smart thing to do is compromise, and have the wealthy pay more... period: "Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner, Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity." C'est la vie... live with it. DAK
