If you were to re-distribute ALL the wealth in America - so that EVERY adult citizen had the exact same amount of money, things would pretty much be the way they are now within 5 years. The same people would be wealthy, and the same people would be poor.

Besides, this is nothing more than yet another case of liberals trying to create class envy.

My family is lower-middle class in income. And I don't care. We have a roof over our heads, clothes to wear, and food to eat. Why should I cry-baby around because somebody has more money then I do?

Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% choices.
