"Now, children, please open up your notebooks - we're going to draw some circles..."

I think the geometric figure you're looking for is a pyramid :)

Now, Senator, that is just more of your atheist, skeptical lies! As anyone who has taken our Econ 101 class knows, the children are going to draw concentric groups of circles, with more groups connected to the first downline circles. It's an ever-expanding network, not a pyramid.

Geesh, how can you scoffers poison the well of debate like this? If it sounds too good to be true, you just don't have enough faith!!!

That's an awful lot of circles.

But no, I just can't ignore the empirical evidence showing how dangerous this sort of geometry is...

How is a pyramid defined???

"It's an ever-expanding network, not a pyramid."

And the corporation you work for is not a pyramid?

They're all pyramids. That's why the Exxon CEO got $400 million dollars last quarter and the Exxon employees got zilch.
