Hi Dark, Exactly. You just hit the nail on the head. All that it really boils down to is capitalism at its worst. Nothing more and nothing less than that. It is no secret that after the United States won the war of independance one of the first things Alexander Hamelton did was setup a new banking system and the Washington administration really set up an economic system that helped the ritch murchants etc out more than it did the common American. It really has been that way ever since. Those early polacies lead the way for the industrial revolution and has allowed an agressive business owner to become extremely wealthy by exploiting his/her customers to the fullest amount possible. We can talk all day about the evils of capitalism, wealthy materialism, but the fact is it is the world we have been given to live in. It effects everyone from a major corperation like Microsoft right on down line to the average customer.
