[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]All I can think of, though, is that a lot of the smarter wealthy white males might actually see the writing on the wall.

The smart ones will have recognized that "tinkle down" has not worked and will never work, and like Nick Hanauer warned, "the pitchforks are coming" if regular people don't see some major changes to their benefit.

Maybe tomorrow will be a quieter day and I'll get a chance to study the charts and the thread. Last night was my night off, but I have to get to the 2nd job now.
