roach,
I guess i see that the thread, regardless of some positions inherent in ustwo's op, does have some political aspect. I think it's hard to make the statement that separation of the haves and have nots, or the distribution of wealth, isn't something of a natural fact...I'm not saying I support the incredible differentiation in it, but it does seem to pop up again and again. My main problem with ustwo's op is the second part you brought up, the equation of wealth with some manner of inherent wisdom/intelligence and certainly the notion that that type of intelligence would swing over to a sense of what is best for society as a whole. Not to mention that if one attempts to silence the population on the basis of finanical status, then democracy / republican govt. goes straight in the shitter, and you end up with a seriously flawed situation. I don't understand your position that there isn't a political side to this question; however, I'll agree that the op is mostly finance related aside from the bit about political policy. Regardless, no offense intended - I didn't mean to single you out so much as I typically enjoy your posts.
