I get it....the federal government takes from the states, the
states take from its workers. The Federal government
redistributes the monies received from the state and the
people back to the states, that now redistributes it to the
people.

Sounds like the failed Socialist system....just with one
more step.

Sorry.....that ain't what is 'supposed' to happen in this
country. Don't get me started on that one.


No, you don't get it, Dan. There is nothing in my comment about the
federal government or state governments taking anything. Throughout this
discussion, I've only talked about government policies to stimulate fair
wages and reasonable business practices. The government has been doing that,
in some form or another, since just about the very first day this country
was created (though, IMO, has been doing a fairly poor job of it lately).
