"The amount of giving to the poor is amazing, particulary from a corporate point. But too many seem to think we should all be equal with regard to finances"

From a corporate point of view? Exactly how much do they give to the poor? Seems to me its the corporations that have the fancy accountants and the big tax cuts. I'd like to see some facts and figures on that big lie.

As to equal finances. Nobody said it had to be equal. Most of the poor in North America would settle for half of the average household income. Thats hardly equal.

...and Don, you are absolutely right.

"Most "haves" had a head start, being born into well to do families and eased into good education, and higher paying jobs. There's not too much personal achievement in that.

It's damn hard to climb that ladder with so many of the better off standing on your head."
