I once read a theory: If you took all the wealth away from the high achievers/earners, and gave it to all the poor people, within a generation it would be back where it started.

Reasonable.

Isn't Chuck and Nancy's demand that the stimulus package include THEIR recipients quid pro quo?

I heard a black preacher on the radio once who was ranting about the lack of business opportunities for black people. He said if you gave $1,000 to every black man woman and child in the morning it would be in the hands of white people by the close of the business day.

It wouldn't be. His point was just about every place you spend money is ultimately owned by white people. Not that he is correct about that. It was over 30 years ago, though.

More like 10 years. Just look at lottery winners and highly paid athletes.

They apparently do the lift kits and suspension clearance work sometimes required to fit the tire package as well. Pay by the week or monthly and rent to own.

It’s not racially a exclusive thing; even if you segregated the exchange of wealth racially, you would get the same result.

Texas state lottery is still open for business. Hey, wanna make more? Make it illegal for your competitors to open!

A great observation that I had not thought of. :seasix: Close all casinos and bar/restaurant gambling machines, all the poor fuggers that want to gamble can only used state sponsored sites. Fuggers, but not surprised.
