major beneficiaries, it seems that the politicans' support for the endless wars and occupations, the rich and super-rich with our money and our grandchildrens' futures, and the continuation of having manufacturing jobs in foreign countries, is going to create more "regular working people."

The halo effect of the Affordable Care Act doesn't change that. We cannot reduce the conditions leading to violence in this country by pointing to the Affordable Care Act, the signing of the Lilly Ledbetter Act, etc.

Those who want to reduce violence in this country should take steps to change the "economic conditions that spawn violence".

It's good to see that the Episcopalians are taking a step to do so. However, as indicated, I don't think that is any factual basis to believe that the politiicans who represent the rich and the super-rich are going to listen. For those politicans who want to share in the wealth of the rich and the super-rich, it is not in their best interest to do so.
