Yes. Very interesting and probably 50% true. Our democracy has a
problem. It seems
that in our system we've got too polarities, both of which are able to
"take advantage"
of the system. Our system has probably produced a mental immorality
among
the impoverished; but I'd suggest that there is also a mental
immorality among the
extremely well-to-do. Any system that allows and approves
extraordinary accumulation of wealth
may require extraordinary poverty, both economical and moral. And it
is an economic fact that
our two poles are pushing farther apart.
