“When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” So goes the rationale behind tax policies that redistribute income, at least as it was offered to Joe the Plumber several weeks ago. The idea, promoted as simple social justice, is that government should help the poor by taking money from the wealthy (through increased taxes) and giving it to those in need (through government social programs).
Retired entertainer thought she slept awkwardly. It was a stroke.

Sharon Murff began her 58th birthday before dawn with a clicking sound in her head.
She didn t feel any pain. Yet when she looked in the mirror, the left side of her face seemed distorted. I didn t recognize myself, she said. I thought maybe I just slept funny and could shower it off.
When the shower didn t help, Murff – a retired entertainer from Chicago – put on a wig and hat to cover her face. She could do nothing, however, to mask the problems she felt with her voice, a sensation she described as like I had marbles in my mouth. She also was unusually clumsy, dropping things.
