perhaps this is weird, but if i was filthy rich, i would do two things first (well, after paying off my student loans):
1) make sure every food bank in the country was permanently filled
2) buy every payday loan and cash cashing business and make them the lowest interest possible.

ladies and gentlemen, Bill Kristol is now arguing for a massive wealth redistribution because he sees the current capitalist system as heading toward social chaos
“The current state of American capitalism isn’t sustainable. It doesn’t deserve to be sustained. And the best way to avoid an American version of “eat the rich” is to fix the current “let them eat cake” distortion of capitalism into which we’ve fallen.”

DOJ recently admitted that other FPS claims in this case were objectively false.
