    Actually I was thinking about this last night after someone asked the same question. At the time I just responded the top 1%. But I've thought about it in a different way.
    Basically in a free market, labor is not paid for their physical production value. They are instead paid based on the supply of that type of labor. That value is mostly beneath their production value...obviously if it was equal to or above that would not work economically. So the vast majority of labor is paid below their physical production value. Now there are people who are paid above, either because the field is so specialized that supply cannot meet demand, or(typically though not always) the highest realm of upper management such as CEOs.
    So maybe a better way to view wealth is someone who makes more than their physical production value.

    Wealth - anything that has utility and is capable of being exchanged or appropriated.
    Redistribute - reallocate, distribute anew.
    In your example someone provides wealth to a financial institution with the promise of interest. The institution distributes the wealth to others through loans with interest payments attached.
    By definition every economy in the world requires the passing of wealth between hands. I believe that is what El Buscador is getting at.

    The funny thing is when they start insulting a person's background instead of focusing on the topic and without actually knowing that person's background it comes across as extremely ignorant.
    For instance. I did not go through the public school system. I went to a private, conservative religious grade school and high school. I did go to a state university but it was in the Midwest and it was also fairly conservative. Yet on many points I agree with you, and therefore they would probably also label me as a "brain-washed through education" progressive, which is quite far from reality.

    Dude, seriously get off your high horse. I usually ignore you tirades, especially when you make them personally aimed at me. I've seen you do this to others. Learn to argue your points without taking personal swipes at others here. If not, I'll just continue to ignore your posts.

    Very good!
    My move-back fund keeps taking hits from life's little surprises. But I'm the determined sort.
    Good luck to you with your plans.

    My, my, you really are the irrational sort, aren't you!

    He expressed his opinion in an authoritative manner without articulating anything of substance and did so as if he seems to know something about legal preemption, so I'm curious. Perhaps he's a law professor?

    Have you studied constitutional law? I'm just curious where this authoritative voice of yours comes from?

    I don't have to. You've got thousands of posts right on this very enlightened, family based website proving you're nothing more than a hysterical narsicist.

    The furor over illegal immigrants in the larger context of the Arizona law debate is directly relate-able to a long and ignoble history of anti-immigrant feelings to be found voiced by some groups throughout US history. The 'big debate' fueled by a certain media outlet, eaten up and regurgitated here on VJ are absolutely much ado about nothing, except of course the very heart of the matter, that the AZ law has it's heart in "white separatist" groups, which is just a polite face on "white supremacist" groups.
    If you think this AZ law, and the entire kerfuffle going on right now has anything to do with illegal immigrants destroying us as a nation then you fit right in with every generational wave of anti-immigrant fervor to be found in our historical past, i.e. hysterical claims that this group or that group will diminish our quality of life and destroy our otherwise would be perfect nation. Couching your feelings with "Ya but they are here illegally" doesn't really change that fact.
    As to the well documented link between who wrote the original law, Russel Pearce AZ State Senator and Neo-Nazi's it is pretty much as plain as this picture which is worth a thousand words:

    That's a guy named J.T. Ready, who also happens to be one of Arizona's leading neo-Nazis next to Mr. Pearce, getting a hug in fact.
