Philly Voice ^ | 04/24/2017 | JOHN KOPP

A group of activists knocked on doors Saturday afternoon on the Main Line, asking residents to consider redistributing large portions of their wealth to poor, homeless and indigenous people.

Their efforts are part of a national tour dubbed "The Stolen Land/Hoarded Resources tour" in which poor people walk through rich neighborhoods and ask residents to redistribute wealth or begin a dialogue on the concept of so-called community reparations.

The LGBTQ group came through just before you and we gave them everything. Sorry.

I would happily comply with their request. I would direct them to a piece of my land with some choice Grade A dog shit on it.

And tell them to take it. Take it all. And come back tomorrow for some more if they like.

This silly envy is based on repudiating two fundamental truths:

1) Some people having more money does NOT mean that some people have less.
2) No one living today has enslaved anyone living today.

Remember the sign Mark Fuhrman's father had in the window of his side door?

They need to take a look at names on hospitals and cancer research facilities. Names on buildings on college campuses. They need to look at the money these people raise for battered women shelters, after school programs for the poor and the list goes on and on. Thank goodness for the wealthy as many spread their wealth and many of us benefit from it. Of course, they never mention this. The wealthy are always evil in the liberal mind.

Try that in Texas. That’ll be fun, they should try around 9pm when everybody is home from work.

Even before I read a couple of inches into the article, I knew this must be somehow inspired by Vinoba Bhave’s Bhoodan (Land Gift) movement about 50 years ago or so in India.

IIRC, it actually produced encouraging results for a short time, getting landowners to donate to landless peasants, sometimes tenants on their own land. However, as I remember, practically all the donated land eventually reverted to the original owners. The new peasant owners didn’t manage the land very profitably, went into debt and eventually lost it.

Gonna google that and soon if I’m remembering that right.

Nice in the daytime, but at night they’ll come with real weapons to kill, rob, and rape. Be sure to take pictures of them, but otherwise stay away.

Yes, for the same reason, they would be welcome to trespass on my front lawn.

I’ve been spending some time at the James Cancer Clinic in Columbus lately.There are plaques everywhere recognizing people who contributed to the hospital.It’s like that in every hospital in the country.
