Whether you know it or not, all that money made on Wall st. was created by people who work 40 hour weeks for peanuts. Rent and food and a car.
1% of the people own 50% of the money. If you voted for that 1% to be in control, You;re their Bitch!!!! Not me.......

Bill Gates is an opportunist who marketed a product towards other people. Had there not been a demand for his product, he wouldn't be as successful as he is now. If you don't like someone's product, don't buy it.
Buying into rampant consumerism and bitching about it afterwards shows a lack of personal restraint and an innate hatred of anyone who may be more successful than you. Lest I remind you, you are probably typing your messages on either a Windows or Apple computer so you did indeed give away your money to either Bill Gates or Steve Jobs and that does in fact make you their Bitch. You did what is known as "voting with your dollar".
