Yes, true! But, a bit of that money makes it into the pockets of millions through retirement plans and investments. And yes, grants, social/welfare programs, etc. So please, join me in a bowl of Cheerios or Puffed Wheat. And, don't forget a bowl or two of something from BAT or, what the heck, spread it around, smoke a boutique blend when you pick up the pipe. That won't help fill my wallet but, it'll help someone.
And, I hate to be a spoiler, most everything is all about money. It's also now the Chinese way. The EU thrives on the taxes generated by big businesses. Japan, Latvia, Iceland ... I can't think of a country that doesn't want more money. So, I guess money is the "World's Way". Even Venezuela is struggling to quiet the masses by desperately doing everything wrong. Money is the root of most everything wrong and most everything that's right with the world. Only in the sense though, that money is power. And some use the power wisely and others, not so much.
I'm a firm believer that one can have sufficient wealth. One can have insufficient wealth. But, one can never have too much wealth. I'm including those who consider goats as wealth or, beads, wives, anything that provides for a decent or, even a decadent lifestyle.
