Yeah, I'd be a bit sensitive about this too, if I were you. The phenomenon of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer in America is a brute fact. Legion is right. Tax regulations seek to redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor. And still, we have individuals and even whole families living out of cars and cardboard boxes. A substantial portion of American children are living in households that cannot afford good nutrition for them.

Many of us wish, hesitantly, that you guys could get your wish. If gubmit got out of the way, out of the business of underwriting what capitalism does not provide, then guess what would happen. You guys think poor people would get off their lazy asses and be productive and happy. I don't. I think there would be some real misery for a few years, and then this nation would dump the failed theory that capitalism
lifts all boats." It doesn't. It creates winners and losers. Right now, being a loser is somewhat tolerable. Take away that safety net and you guys would have a new nation on your hands, and a new set of laws. And you'd deserve it for believing what is false and decrying a system that takes care of capitalism's victims.
