   The way it was said was he would make the Billionairs even richer,   
   although one thing may affect both to some extent.   
      
   RM> But prices can't stay this high or wages will catch up to match.   
   RM> I bought my first place on a high too and, although prices didn't   
   RM> drop, they didn't go up any more for the next 8 or so years either   
   RM> so the incomes eventually caught up with the costs.   
      
   AT>Incomes catching up with costs sounds like a fairy tale. Does that really

   It's a lot harder this time around I will admit although one person I   
   know totally on disability was able to buy a lower priced house and   
   carry it on his income. Disability pays a little more than minimum   
   wage here, but not much.   
      
   Actually, that may be wrong.. It pays more than the minimum pension   
   pays seniors but probably not as much as minimum wage which in Ontario   
   for a 40 hour week pays almost $36,000 a year.   
      
   RM> For a while one principal had removed all books

   RM> her twice to clarify that, and that's correct. They only had books   
   RM> there that had minority characters in them. Fortunately the next   
   RM> principal a couple of years later backed off on that.   
      
   AT>Similar events have taken place here. The left used to complain about

   Yes, anything taken to extremes does harm. If you benefit one group   
   another suffers. You'd think by now we could strive for treating   
   everyone fairly, with penalties for not doing that, rather than   
   trying to swing things 100% to greatly benefit a different group   
   while harming someone else..
