However, that's exactly what the billionaires are NOT doing.  Their
insatiable greed is UNsustainable, also in the literal sense (exponential
compound interest).  They deplete/destroy the resource -- the economy.

So I don't understand why you reply to my critique of billionaire predators
that "we are all predators -- we all eat".

Chris is obviously being hunted raped and pillaged by the Billionaires of
today.  Here's a little something I wrote about that for our conference on
the Arts and the problems of funding in America. 


>From the Florentine Conference White Paper 2004, by Ray Evans Harrell, 

Never have there been more billionaires than today.    There are 138
billionaires in America from one billion dollars to 46.6 billion.   The huge
Rockefeller fortune's richest member has 2.5 while the richest Ford has 1.5
billion.  
 
It seems that the new status good in America is money and only if you belong
to the club are you a member of the elite. 
 
What that means for the low person on the totem pole is that they could
spend $45,645 a day for 365 days a year for sixty years to spend that one
billion that elects them to the club.    We could also say, if they stayed
awake during that time - never sleeping - it would come to $31.71 per minute
for sixty years.  
 
One Billionaire's day is more than the yearly per capita income of a citizen
of the highest per capita income country in the world: The tiny country of
Luxemburg.   
 
How much will Bill Gates have to spend a minute if he decided to spend it
all in sixty years?   Well you figure it out; he's worth 46.6 billion. 
 
So why am I bothering the board with these figures that I think you already
know?
