      Is it in the Constitution that we have to grant tax amnesty to televangelists? If not how about a movement to start taxing the hucksters. Its not compromising separation to require them to pay taxes. Or how about just the filthy rich ones with the 5000. dollar suits with the shoe polish in their hair. Really, where does religion leave off and cult start? And, they're siphoning off juniors inheritence

      with their brainwashing of the oldsters. Bet China wouldn't allow it. Mr Feinberg seems like just the man for the job.

      A dollar has more value to a poor person than a rich person. So it's the struggle of poor people to survive that keeps value in the dollar. .. Thank McDonalds for the dollar menu.

      Can I get an Amen? ... It's not like I'm asking for a Hallelujah. i don't want to be greedy

      You really have to like this guy. Be a good candidate for what I think is a sorely needed new position. We might call it the Office of Decent Behavior and Social Effectiveness. Or maybe, the Office of Bully Pulpit (OBP). This country seems to conceive that it is necessary to retain greed and selfishness as the essential forces in our society and its economy, with the idea of diverting some of that to poor ppl no less greedy, but more inept, or perhaps on the theory that they have been victimized. It won't work. Not even as Social Darwinism. The situation we face today ought to be enough to settle that question. They may be basic forces, but they are still base. While it is necessary be realistic about human behavior, there's nothing useful about savagery, and the only way to rise out of that is to make ppl understand what is really in their self-interest. A vast array of preachers used to do that. We are still supposed to be the most church-going ppl on earth, but it seems the clergy have been sidetracked as well. I dare say the majority come nowhere close to it now. The same could be said of the colleges, which were, of course, the offspring in nearly all cases of religious organizations. They were diverted by money, too, and the idea that you could think of social problems apart from attitudes and behaviors. That one was positive and the other merely normative. The president, himself, has something of a knack for this and I think many welcomed it. He could do more of it, and as I say, I don't think it is merely window dressing.
