It's not nice to be rich!

Former President Bill Clinton recently said, "We've gotten away from being a people-centered society and become a money-centered society." As a consequence, he said, the have-nots have even less because the rich continue to hold a disproportionate amount of the nation's wealth. Bill Clinton's net worth is $38 million - about the same as George W. Bush ($10 million) and George H.W. Bush ($28 million) combined.

I wonder why, if Clinton really believes what he's saying, he doesn't go down to the homeless shelter, pick out 10 have-nots, and give them a million each. That way, 10 have-nots would become 10 haves, and Billy Boy would still have $28 million. Sounds like a win-win to me.
