In other words, you suggest the ownership group should support ideas that
perpetuate the wealth gap, rather than focusing on ideas that will close
that gap.  Popularity and justice do not necessarily coincide.  Any time
wasted on discussion of the Tobin tax could be used more constructively
discussing Capital Homesteading and how to make it more popular than the
Tobin tax.
