While this doesn't produce much prosperity in the land, it is an effective way to control people.<br /><br />Instead of them having 8 to your 6, they would rather have 5 to your 1. In other words, the rulers would rather be 4 steps above you, than 2 steps above you, even if the situation where they were only 2 steps superior, everyone was more prosperous and secure.<br /><br />In this fashion, do the Ruling Class, become Born to Rule.Ymar Sakarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-72313545609703852302016-09-01T10:24:59.827-04:002016-09-01T10:24:59.827-04:00The FOunding Fathers left behind a Republic.

Granted, it's a pretty measly amount that I can afford, given the costs of litigation against the powerful state, but I do what I can.<br /><br />I prefer these more narrowly-targeted organizations to the idea of a centrally-managed fund that may try to "do everything," but do nothing as effectively.
