[Paleopsych] The rich get more benefits

[G. Reinhart-Waller]

You really mean that rich is over $10 million/yr.?  If that's rich, then 
what is poor.....income of $100k per year?
This does leave me flabbergasted....my family and I must be existing way 
below the poverty level.  And yes, our family continues paying taxes.
