4. Exactly. That's why we have to tax the stuffings out of the wealthy, and redistribute
the wealth to the poor, and break up the monopolies.

Ever get to the end of a game of Monopoly? Bet no one has. Why? Because before the game ends it becomes obvious who the winner is going to be and everybody else quits the game before they run out of money completely. The monopoloy holder can't "rent" any more houses or hotels because no one has any money to rent them.

Money is just like water---flowing, it's a good thing---standing still it becomes stagnant. That's why the economy is on the brink, and why TARP without new regulations just delays the inevitable.

The next TARP should be in the form of $10,000 vouchers to every American. And, the rich need to have their wealth above a certain amount taxed at 95%.
