Hi Leland, The war on poverty is over. Poverty won. The poor PEOPLE lost, though. Nowadays if you are poor you are a "whiny liberal". Never mind that it is the great wealth of a few that *causes* the poverty of many. I agree with those who such as John Kenneth Galbraith when they say that "trickle down" is a fallacy and the real idea is "pass through". 'If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows.' So we poor are to pick through whatever the rich discard? I guess. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle-down_economics -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
