Said like a true capitalist pig. You're the guy Michael Moore is talking about with his analogy of a pie being cut into 10 pieces and you get 9 and the rest of the people get to split up 1 piece. Don't think that would go over very. We got away with 25% of the resources because many third world countries had not developed. Now the developing countries want the good life too. Sorry we have to share. Enjoy you new life in third world Amerika, Shemp.
