There are no people with hundreds of billions of dollars. Nobody.
The richest FAMILY in the world is in Mexico City. They are worth 73 Billion Dollars. About what the U.S. Govt. spends in less than a week.
THE richest guy in the U.S. is Bill Gates. He's worth 67 Billion. I say WORTH...not has 67 billion dollars in his pocket.
I think you guys have it backwards. It's the politicians who OWN everybody. THEY decide the laws. THEY dole out the winners and losers.
Of course they take bribes. Why not? They are crooks.
But make no mistake about it...The U.S. Govt. is a gigantic monstrosity that dwarfs every "giant" corporation put together and has more corruption than ANY business in existence.
We are being misled by the media to think that somehow Bill Gates can control the U.S. Govt. when his entire net worth is less than what the U.S. spends in a week.
