According to Toronto Star business writer, David Olive (November 23), we should all be very grateful for the handouts the super rich give us. So many have given large donations to hospitals, concert halls libraries and the like. Besides, the obscene gap between the rich and the rest of us is not the cause of our poverty (relative or absolute). "That abomination owes chiefly to insensitive governments". Gee, and I thought it was because the wealth that society produces is distributed in favour of the rich because they own the means of producing and distributing wealth and therefore we get less precisely because they get more.
