    The key word here is “paying”. Nothing you provided in reply qualifies for that term. He’s simply jumped from hand-out to hand-out and clearly has been looking for a way sneak out onto the upper crust the whole time.

      I’m not following you here, please clarify. The only time I used the term “pay” was in the context of the zero sum example. I don’t think that’s what you’re referring to. The next time “paying” is used is you saying it. So I guess I need to ask what you mean when you said “paying their way up the ‘ladder’”. Can you explain what you’re meaning there?
