As I said, "money" is not "wealth." And, yes, wealth can be conjured out of
thin air. Not only do I believe that, but many of my ideas are based on the
teachings from Sinai some 3,300 years ago.

A truth is eternal - whether it was written on stone tablets 33 centuries
ago or published in London in 1776.


I hear that these *******s in America that profited out of it all pay
less tax than a shopfloor worker.

Yes, that's often true. For example, Ross Perot paid NO federal taxes. This
is because at least half of the tax laws are designed to foster some social
goal. In Perot's case, the national government encouraged the buying of
municipal bonds by exempting the interest on the bonds from federal
taxation. Perot had ALL his money in municipal bonds.

Try that today. The AMT would kill ya'.
