and so on in ever widening arcs, until they do the least for the majority of folks. It's understandable human nature. And it's the reason government should work to protect everyone from the ensuing results of human nature. Rich people aren't trying to screw with me. They don't even care about me. They're just trying to gather as many resources and as much power for themselves as possible. And because they're rich, they can tilt the board in their favour every time, unless there's some entity that works to relevel the board for the poor.
