But it should. The nation would be better for it if we just redistributed all the wealth around and started over. From top to bottom. Reparations for the 99.

Although mostly to NA. Anybody else that wants to help NA out can check out the link in my sig.
I'm also all for a massive public reparations program with public funding to go to AA and NA. (I don't know who JA are, or how they were robbed.) Not only would it be morally right, it would be like a bolt of lightning to the real economy that most of us live in.

with the initial pay-outs occurring almost 25 years ago - http://articles.latimes.com/1990-10-01/news/mn-1299_1_budget-agreement
