An ideal society.

It’s all right to be rich. But not so poor that one is forced to live in poverty. I want a society in which there’s more fairness. And that might mean taking a little more from the rich. To help pay for social programs that benefit the poor. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not advocating eliminating millionaires and billionaires. Let them remain filthy rich. Only a little less filthy. I’m merely for lifting everyone out of poverty. And for providing everyone certain basic necessities, such as health care, education and a place to live. Nobody should be homeless. If the only way to create such an ideal society is by a modest redistribution of wealth – well, then so be it. –Jim Broede
