I meant the former although donating to a good cause or helping a family in need (or sponsoring a child for a good charter school) probably wouldn't bankrupt those of us who are on the wealthier side. But I meant the former.

a) move them towards each other physically, as in more intermingling amongst classes and physically interacting with each other
b) move them towards each other finanically, as in the "haves" need to give some up and the "have nots" receive some?
If you mean, financially- how does this help?
Even the richest AfAms are still WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY behind whites (the top 20 BE companies could be bought EASILY by the money that Exxon Mobil has CASH - that is not even considering their money that is not liquid). I really don't see how making the richer AfAms poorer, helps anything.
Our community NEEDS rich people, because in these days money matters. The best way for us to get ahead is to fund campaigns and play the big money game corporate America plays- we can't do that if our richest give all their money so the poor can be middle class. Now, rich AfAms need to support candidates who are favorable to ALL classes of AfAms not just the rich, but we can do alot more by playing the game of politics and capitalism than just making someone poor, not so poor.
