All this may be true, but has nothing to do with our discussion, does it?

Accuracy leads to truth, remember? You seem a little short on that.

You just said that what I posted was true, and then said that I am short on accuracy. I'm tired of this. I give up. Good luck Chicken Little, the sky is falling.

However, it will change the nation after you and I are gone, will change it fundamentally.


At seems to me, that you at least latent Communist tendencies. As a middle class physician working in NYC, I have attended to all strata of society, ranging from the homeless to billionaires. One of the latter invited me on his mega yacht in the Carribbean. After a few beers, I sort of admitted that I wouldn't mind if the Uber rich lost some of their tax breaks. His response was first they take my 60 million dollar yacht to "redistribute" the wealth. Then they go down the economic food chain to my 60 thousand dollar sailboat. As they once said during the Nazi era; "When they come for me by day, they come for you by night"

When you need to tell everyone that they just don’t get it, in all likelihood it’s not that you’re the only one who gets it and everyone else has it wrong.

You are the one who has it wrong and just doesn’t get it.

I don’t see any relationship between the on-going conversation and your point.

My point is that your billionaire patient could place his money at interest, let it ride for, say, fifty years and, along with others doing the same thing, radically alter American society and the relative financial equality that has held this country together some 250 years.
