Welcome to Capitalism at it's finest! Them that has, Gets, the Rest can
go to Hoboken! The Rich get rich, the Poor get poorer. Capitalism is the
name of the game - but I strenuously object to today's Capitalism Game -
for the game to work best - Fair Play must be a part - and it has been
removed - the Almighty Dollar rules - result -  todays capitalism hurts
a lot of people - something I'm against - hurting people. When a game is
  no longer Fair - time to change the rules of the game.
