can obama say "mission accomplished" on his pledge to "spread the wealth"?
this year, more than 46 million (15% of all americans) will get food stamps. ... that's 45% higher than when obama took office, and twice as high as the average for the previous 40 years.

he spread out tax money around to all the wealthy elite billionaires bailing out their corporations so that they didn't take any loses on their bad investments.

all you can do is do your best and aim as high as you possibly can. everybody has limitations, not everybody can "win". there will always be somebody better than you in some way: taller, better looking, more money. it doesn't matter, because most people don't even strive for greatness.maybe you run that marathon and you come in like 20th or something. you didn't win. but you came 20th out of thousands of people. those thousands of people also trained, and are fitter than the average person. they guy/girl who came in 1000th, 2000th, 3000th, 10,000th place is fitter than the average person. the average person doesn't exercise at all. the average person could barely run a half a marathon, they couldn't even complete that.the same goes everywhere else. i like to lift weights. plenty of guys are bigger and stronger than me. but i'm much stronger than the average guy. 65% of guys are obese. of the remaining 35%, the majority are scrawny and out of shape. simply lifting weights regularly, eating right, and having the discipline to do that sets you apart from probably 80% of men in that area.that's all that's really required. there is already enough evidence to either require another election in some states (which there may not be time for) or require the state party convention (which are often controlled by republicans) to make a decision due to the issues laid out in the legal arguments. trump's team has very valid points and evidence to back up those points. legal process is necessary for legitimacy, but any judge who strictly interprets the law will side with trump’s team. due to the media’s propaganda campaign, i’m sure many judges would be concerned about the ramifications of the legal outcome, but ultimately they have to do their job as arbiters of the law. so trump should win his lawsuits even if the supreme court has to make the final decision. republicans are likely, but not guaranteed to be loyal to their party. trump will likely win in the end... either way, as of now no votes have been certified. if we examine those states that have generally finished their vote counts and have no legal contest at the moment then the current electoral vote count would be 227 biden vs 229 trump. so technically trump is currently winning even if the mainstream media wants to brainwash you into believing something else. hi,

lots of great explanations below, but i fear they might be difficult to truly conceptualize. 

let's start with a pie!

if there's a pie in front of us, that is the market. we'll call it 100 units of pie

we cut the pie in half - one piece (50 pie units) for you, and one piece (50 pie units) for me

scenario 1: we do nothing, we both have 50% market share.

scenario 2: i eat half my pie. my pie slice is now 25 units, yours is still 50 units. as a result, you have 67% of the market share and i have 33%. my "revenues" have fallen and my market share has fallen. your revenues haven't changed but you've gained market share

scenario 3: not only do i eat half my pie, but you also eat 20% of yours. still, i ate more, so even though your "revenues" are down, you've still gained market share.

scenario 4: we both get given more pie (yay). but, i get a whole other 50 units, and you only get 5 more. your "revenues" are up, but you've still lost market share!

i've created the below image for you to visualize this better (click on it to blow it up)...hope this helps! An increase in the level of production of goods and services (national income) of a country over a certain period of time is referred to as economic growth. Higher level of investment in education sector would lead to higher proportion of educated people working with higher participation in economic activities and, therefore, would lead to higher economic growth. The following are the various ways in which investment in education stimulates economic growth: 

**(i) Imparts Quality Skills and Knowledge**: Education endows people with quality skills and, thereby, enhances their productivity. Consequently, it enhances the income earning capacities of and opportunities for the people. Moreover, it also enables the human capital to utilize the available physical capital optimally. 

**(ii) Develops Mental Abilities**: Education develops the mental abilities of people and helps them to make their choice rationally and intellectually. Education churns out good citizens by inculcating values in them.  

**(iii) Acceptability of Modernization**: An educated public of a nation has greater acceptability of modernization and modern techniques. This not only helps the economy to grow but also facilitates a primitive economy to break the shackles of tradition and backwardness.  

**(iv) Eradicates Skewed Income Distribution**: Education not only increases the income  earning capacity but also reduces the skewed distribution of income, thereby, forms an egalitarian society.  

**(v) Raises Standard and Quality of Living**: Education enhances the income earning capacity of the people, thereby; it raises the standard of living and also improves the quality of living.  

**(vi) Increases the Participation Rate**: It fosters economic development by increasing the participation of people in the process of growth and development.  

**(vii) One Solution for Other Economic** **Problems**: The importance of education is not only limited to making people educated But also in facilitating an underdeveloped economy to solve different but interrelated macro economic problems like poverty, income inequality, population, investments, under utilization of resources. heart transplant recipients can now days expect nearly a 90% 1 yr survival and 75% at 5 years. this therapy is for patients with end stage heart failure who otherwise have a poor quality of life and limited prognosis without transplant or lvad. see more... i am far more concerned with people soft on crime yet want to make criminals out of legal gun owners. i am more concerned about people who think any loser should be allowed in america. if anyone has hid out for so many years they should be allowed to stayand if they breed a litter of kids on our tax dollars they should stay. I'll assume you mean how much actual time would be served on a particular sentence... it starts with "good time credits" that are applied to the sentence calculator a the beginning of the sentence. An inmate can only lose that good time by having behavior issues or breaking numerous rules. In federal you get 15%, state prison ranges from 15-30% good time. The difference with the state is that they're also dealing with a parole system too that can release an offender having done only one-third of their sentence. make enough money to leave the rat race and pursue whatever you want in life. 

for those still chasing prestige, many go into general management (c-suite), politics (mitt romney), or philanthropy (schwarzman). a lot of old school pe deal makers end up opening their own shops to have greater control over their lifestyle. 

private equity is still a grind with long hours. at some point, you make “enough” to stop caring about prestige. foods don't burn fat, but there are some people trying to sell that idea. our bodies are in balance. if we eat more calories than we use, we gain weight. if we eat fewer calories than we use, we lose weight. people who stay the same weight eat more than they use on some days, and less than they use on other days... but it averages out over time. eating fewer calories than needed, will burn fat. see more... There could be a variety of leaderboards. Like one of top points overall, and another for the most points gained in the previous 4 weeks or something. I may never top to overall leaderboard, but I have a chance of getting on a monthly leaderboard.
