      The victim doesn’t matter unless they are worth millions of dollars or stand to help others win or loss millions.

      When you think about it … the system isn’t protecting people, whether they are rich or not … the system is just thinking about protecting wealth and capital.

        The system protects the flow of tax dollars.

        Because that’s what it consumes to survive.

          Then why do billionaires and corporations get so many tax breaks and subsidies while also getting the most protection and favorable legislation?

      I dunno, he may be free—but he’s not doing too much enrichment. No one wants anything to do with him because he’s an idiot, and not the useful kind.
