Season 4 Podcast 12 “Profitable Poverty” Little by little our freedoms are being stolen from us, each in the guise of a good cause, but isn't it odd how the one who robs from the rich to give to the poor is often the primary benefactor?  Somehow money to the poor turns into power to the politicians and all by sleight of hand, like a magician.    I remember sitting in an American fast-food res...
