    Social stratification may be good for some, but the underlying theme is "I'm better than you."
    The gain is unequal, but everyone does gain. I'm not unhappy that there are people that are better off then me.

      But I am better than most people.

        I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

            They were all millionaires by the time they ran.


            I guess we can point to them as an example of the social mobility in the US . But they weren't born rich. They didn't go to 'rich' universities.

            Damn it -- I agree with Imran on something -- again.


            Ha ha ha haha! You agree with meeeee!

              I don't think I'm 1/2 as great as I really am.

                  No, because I said it first

                  Besides, I don't mind agreeing with MrFun. I'm a uniter, not a divider

                      Oh please don't give me that "I'm a uniter, not a divider" hogwash while you keep a Reagan avatar.

                        Reagan was a uniter

                        Why do you think all the Democrats voted for him .

                          It was one of the greatest tragedies in our nation's history -- when most people were voting for an idiot, and they didn't even realize it.

                              Oh, I have problems with Clinton too, but you know damn well I was referring to Reagan.
