Should the American government allow families to not own more than 1 million dollars, and break up chain?

stores? The Walton family are sitting on billions, couldn’t that money be used to take care of the poor, working class and not gluttony? Also, if someone like Tiger Wood’s has a traffic accident, why does he only have to pay $164 dollars? Shouldn’t he have to pay more because he has it?
People who are thrown into jail who have no money, sit in jail. People who are rich can buy their way out of jail, and then buy their way out of charges.
Wouldn’t spreading the wealth to all Americans be fair? With all the billions the Walton family has, they could use it to set up universal health care for all the poor, and working class.
Also, couldn’t the corporate wars be suspended, and “defense” cut way down. That money could be used to pay for working families to send their children to college. That way they would have the knowledge to not invade peripheral nations in order to supply core countries with their opiate like addiction to oil.
People matter more than profits, correct?
Also, couldn’t all the illegal aliens be shipped back to Mexico? And the job NAFTA sent to Mexico could be brought back to America?
Johnin, Walmart hires people part time so they don’t have to insure them. They also do not pay a living wage. Walmart also gets their products from third world countries, instead of buying American.
Does anyone notice that the show “Interventions” that airs on A&E rarely features African American families?

It’s obvious that black communities have been ravished by drugs/alcohol yet somehow those of color are rarely shown on the program. Could it be that drug/alcholol addiction in the black community is simply viewed as a way of life which warrants no concern? Isn’t this an attempt by the “powers that be” to dehumanize the black experience while giving credibility to the lives of whites who suffer the same malady? Is there no Rites of Passage for the black addict?

Everything Changes: Help for Families of Newly Recovering Addicts

Feb
Product Description
Like the people who care about them, addicted individuals in early recovery are filled with hopes and fears. They want to be free of the pain and chaos their addictions have brought them. They hope to build a productive life. But they also fear that they may not be able to live without their drug of choice.
During uncertain times of early recovery, families face new and difficult challenges in their relationship with their loved one: How involved should we be? How can we be supportive without setting ourselves up for disappointment? How can we help without enabling? What kinds of boundaries should we maintain? And what kind of relationship will we ultimately have?
Everything Changes is a guide to help families navigate the first year of recovery. It explores the addicted individual’s many challenges, examines ways that families can be supportive without sacrificing their own peace of mind, and suggests ways to build a new, more rewarding rel… More >>

Counseling Addicted Families: An Integrated Assessment and Treatment Model

Jan
Product Description
Although one person’s addiction almost inevitably affects his or her family members, a surprising number of treatment models appear to operate under the assumption that an individual’s addiction (and potential recovery) occurs in a vacuum. By not paying sufficient attention to preexisting family dynamics-whether dysfunctional, supportive, or somewhere in between-counselors run the risk of not fully understanding the roots of an individual’s addictions or the obstacles to his recovery; as a result, counselors may undermine their own treatment efforts both by neglecting any underlying family problems and by failing to capitalize upon a family’s potential assistance in an intervention with the addicted individual. In Counseling Addicted Families, Gerald A. Juhnke and William Bryce Hagedorn address this problem head-on. Recognizing that even those treatment providers who understand the importance of the familial context of addiction are often stymied by th… More >>
