Getting Rich

Greed has taken hold of America, especially those who are already rich. If you are poor, maybe you would like to be rich, and you work hard and work hard and get nowhere but poor.

Perhaps if you are lucky enough or smart enough you might make enough money to satisfy your desire to be rich -- the legal way. But if you get too greedy you rob banks, or something like that. If you are rich, you already robbed the bank, but you need to rob more people so you open a bank.

If you are the bank, you rob everybody (called "fees") because bankers just aren't ever rich enough to quench their greed.

The more in debt you are the more in debt you become, because the interest becomes so great that the fees become even greater, and it becomes a vicious cycle.

There is very little left to do, since you can't go bankrupt anymore, at least not with any hope of improving your financial situation. They will eventually just take your property and all you paid for all those years will be lost to those who are already rich and become richer and then more greedy.

Then you become homeless, or live in squalor while the bankers and oil barons live in ridiculous wealth and hire your children as servants and prostitutes. Things haven't changed all that much since the days of Babylon.
