37. I understand what you're saying . . . I was just kinda stating the obvious
that it seems that when people get beyond a certain point in wealth its just pretty much got to lead to greed or at least lead you to think you're untouchable - and yes, I'm thinking of the Cheney types especially who, if the truth were known about how much they really made from these wars, etc., would probably be far beyond Bill Gates, etc.. Even if its comparable, Gates probably isn't what I'd call too rich because he worked for it. Cheney made his from corruption and greed on the backs of unsuspecting people.

And like I was saying, this statement was mostly about being frustrated with what they've done to our country and even the global community. Wasn't meant to downplay the importance of your question. Too much to me is when you use it for evil. Not a set dollar amount just a messed up mentality about money.
