I’d like to compliment you, Oldeconomybuyer. You consistently find and post on FreeRepublic articles on subjects that are overlooked by others, yet very interesting and revealing.

It only takes a few billionaires to be able to do much more than even large numbers of millionaires.
Billionaires tend to be so insulated from the normal pressures of economics that they may indulge even the most fantastic of social engineering theories.
