If you were of a mind to think that we ought to have more poverty stricken people in America, and you had the power to make it happen, here is how you could accomplish your objective … quickly.

You would have to have a Magic Wand because you can bet our rulers would never pass such a law.

Enjoy my mind wanderings. Thought provoking. Serious humor. Stimulating thought since 2006. Nathaniel Hawthorne-"Easy reading is damn hard writing." Tertullian-"Credo quia absurdum", I believe it because it is absurd. John Lennox-"Nonsense remains nonsense, even when talked by world-famous scientists."
