    The problem is that as the rich get richer, everyone else gets poorer. In my own community we now have a homelessness problem because homeowners aren't renting to working class people, they're renting to rich summer people that can pay huge rents. Currency has a market value, too -- and when a few people have a lot of it and everyone else has very little, the market value of that currency has gone down, which naturally hurts the people that don't have as much of it a lot more.

    "The nations's income"? How very communist of you.

    Maybe you could explain what you mean by "the nation's income". That might help.

    Power? Power to do what exactly?

    I know a guy who owns a corporation. He has no power over me, as far as I know. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
