And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.

If you remember the story, the Sheriff of Nottingham collects taxes from the peasants to send to King John. The so-called "rich" in medieval times were not merchants or artisans but royalty and noblemen---the gubmint!

That was a quote from Monty Python's The Holy Grail.
