The recently discovered tape on which Barack Obama said back in 1998 that he
believes in redistribution is not really news. He said the same thing to
Joe the Plumber four years ago.
But the tape's surfacing may serve a useful purpose if it gets people to
thinking about the consequences of redistribution.
Those who talk glibly about redistribution often act as if people are just
inert objects that can be placed here and there, like pieces on a chess

Why do once-successful societies ossify and decline?
Hundreds of reasons have been adduced for the fall of Rome and the end of
the Old Regime in 18th-century France. Reasons run from inflation and
excessive spending to resource depletion and enemy invasion, when historians
attempt to understand the sudden collapse of the Mycenaeans, the Aztecs,
and, apparently, the modern Greeks. In literature from Catullus to Edward

然后收回来的本金慢慢进入股市捞底。就是IRA转钱太不方便。
