CP has long contended that our region suffers from an unusually disproportionate distribution of wealth. In other words, there are folks with fancy waterfront homes, luxury cars and yacht and there are folks who can barely afford bus fare--right here in Annapolis and AA County.There are plenty of folks who have way more than they need and a lot of people who have nowhere near enough. This is the most pressing issue and indeed, is also the most fundamental cause of most of our social,educational and crime challenges. What happened to the idea of "trickle down economics" or "a rising tide lifts all boats"? See this article in The Capital for a discussion of a report just released by The Community Foundations of Anne Arundel County (CFAAC) which documents the social problems exacerbated by having too many rich people and too many poor people.
