Alan: In my 30's I was unexpectedly admitted to a financial nexus where all I had to do was bend over and pick up 100 dollar bills. This largesse lasted only a few days but the experience informed me how the deck is stacked on behalf of the wealthy. Just by being present where "big deals are cut" the rich pick up bags of money blown through the seams of The Deal itself. It's not just "pork." It's The Whole Hog. The biggest fortunes bear almost no relationship to "hard work," certainly not hard work as the working class knows it. As revealed in the above cartoon, "ungodly wealth" falls like manna from heaven.
