Wei, "deprived of the right to own and control the fruits of its labor"? No ! I certainly don't believe there is such a class in this country unless you would count those in prison as a class. Who is depriving your oppressed class? The fascists? the antisemites? the mysogynists? the Confucians? But I do believe Confucius hit upon something when he said that it was comparatively easier for one to be rich and not be puffed up than it was for one to be poor and not feel resentment. On second thought you do sound like those Republicans that think they are overtaxed. CDM
