Again not true. Anyone can lose their life savings, even the very rich. We've seen plenty of examples of that in the last few months. Furthermore, anyone can get rich, as Hatton showed. Not very many people become truly wealthy, but why is it a problem that some people, through skill or chance, get there? Good for them! The Obama argument, as I see it, is that the government needs to re-distribute money from the top to the bottom to ensure "fairness". Next he will force sports teams to give back points if they are beating their opponents too badly - out of fairness, of course. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:290133 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
