Not that I'm necessarily agreeing that that's what's happening here. But if it were, I wouldn't personally be sad about it.

Digbudro--where do you personally fall, economically, if you don't mind me asking? Are you among the rich you're afraid are going to get stolen from?
I'm just curious. Did you ever meet a "poor" person that managed to make good? Did they make good from "stealing back" their money from some "rich" person or did they make good by shear hard work? How do you reconcile this and fit it into your political beliefs?
