[QUOTE="Doublestandards, post: 6041459, member: 110123"] What is meant by the quote then of the rich having a harder time than a camel going through the eye of a needle? And I agree with you a redistribution of wealth probably wouldn’t solve as much as people think. It reminds me of how many people who win the lottery end up going broke and having worse lives than before winning. You see it often too with children who inherit large sums of money. I’ve heard when the money is not earned, it only takes a generation or two to blow it . I do wonder though if there’s still room for improvement,!or maybe some redistribution in the form of higher taxes for the ultra rich. Like I said, would the ultra rich really be worse off being worth $500 million tops compared to $40 billion? Could we improve our society by doing so? [/QUOTE]
