They went away and got all sophisticated,
greedy,
proud,
arrogant,
and,
they made a very good living at it without having to do anything nasty like labor, or creating value, or even coming up with an idea.
I watched Star Wars #1 last night, must be why I keep thinking of "the dark side".

"they made a very good living at it without having to do anything nasty like labor, or creating value, or even coming up with an idea." I was reminded of a quote attributed to George McGovern (South Dakota) who, as we all know, was extremely liberal. (I couldn't find this quote online - perhaps someone else can help me out)
Anyway, the quote was something to the effect " . . .if I [McGovern] had known the effect some of the regulations and taxes had on small businesses, I might have re-thought some of them". He apparently left Congress to run a small business. The business eventually failed due, in part, to excessive taxes and regulation.
Again, I couldn't find the exact quote, but I'm pretty sure this is the gist of it.

And the bar scene still reminds me of Congress in session.
