I think I should point out that the men who actually do that are hourly employees who see very little of the profits.

Well the way I see it is the WORKING PEOPLE , keep the people who do not want to work that is how I see Obama spreading the WEALTH, but I hope he uses some of his own money to do that

If you think about it, the people are the government. The governmental system itself is so corrupt, the system will create wealth then snatch it back as in your last scenario. After the govermental system snatch the money from the little man, they increase their salary to themselves. Sad, but true. That is why we pray for a govermental system.

Wow that was deep. No what the govt. does is give people a chance to capitalize through free enterprise. It is called capitalism. You can not lend money without expecting things in return. Profit is made through interest.

The Federal Reserve helps banks create wealth. The Federal Reserve sets the prime interest rate and they loan money to banks at the prime interest rate. Banks then loan out their money at prime +, thus when you pay back your loan the bank you borrowed from makes a profit. Wealth is created.
