My thoughts ideas and experiences

There is the old saying that the rich gets richer and the poor well gets poorer. Supposedly the leaving chairman of NYSE, Richard Grasso was paid a whopping $140 million dollars to clean out his desk and leave. What makes matters even more appalling is that he is entitled to as much as $70 milliion dollars more. Either way as reports have followed something needs to be done on how big money needs to be regulated.( I must be honest I am not all too familiar with what is going on here.) I don't consider myself a socialist by any degree but we must set up an example how we are going to balance the inequalities of wealth in our country. There are several obstacles to this. First of all, we don't have much of a welfare state. Pretty much welfare in recent years has been trammeled on by the issue of what we call welfare reform in which we witnessed massive cutback--but even now which is due to bugdet shortfalls--than ever before. The problem with welfare reform has to do with the ...
