Since AA is paid for by the government with funds it has obtained coercively,
it entails gov't. forcing some groups to pay for the advancement of other
groups.

I didn't say ONLY.  The fact that it is many groups is irrelevant to my point.
Clearly, the ostensible reason for AA is not to advance all groups.
It does not matter how many are involved, only that some groups are being
forced to pay for the ostensible advancement of other groups.

>2) The seeming "rightously" resentfull  attitude  with reference to the
	 collection/distribution of revenue by the U.S. Gov't 

I don't believe I revealed myself as righteously resentful thru my
posting.  However, I do get annoyed when I'm robbed, whether the hoodlums
are in the street or on Capitol Hill.

>Aside from implementation strategies,  the idea that AA is, by design, aimed

Read my posting again  --  I didn't say "only."
