Although I am not an American (i.e. I don't know the entire scenario in absolute certainty, but I work here in US), I totally agree that the government shouldn't intervene, at least not at the expense of tax payers.

I am totally baffled by the ever growing inequality between the rich and poor (pay, taxation, power differences, and etc). I was always wondering when we could ever see a significant change in such absolute unfair situation. Can we possibly use technology to make a change?

Hoping to see a better outcome by the time my children grow up, or before I die!
