If the top 5% of candy gatherers are typically given 10 pieces of candy for every one that the others get for knocking at least as many doors...sure.

I come from a blue collar union family. It's amazing how companies can pay employees so little that they have to work weekends instead of go to church or take on a second job....meanwhile the CEOs make out like bandits. To make matters worse....all to often it's the little guy on the assembly line working far harder and breaking his back just to put food on his family's table.

I'm not big on welfare....but I am for a fair and living wage (something Republicans disdain). And I have little pitty on fat cats who are filthy rich and making money hand over fist on the backs of hard working Americans who work for a substandard wage.
