I did read it Barry. Money is a way of keeping score sometimes. It is the same as taking the SuperBowl Trophy and giving it to the losing team, or taking the academic scholarship from someone who passed all the tests and lived an exemplary life and giving it to someone who never studied at all and smokes dope all day. Or taking a five year old's piggy bank that they saved all their money all year to buy a present for mom and giving it to a cousin who spends it on candy.
People work hard to be successful. If it turns out they are successful, they should be penalized?
