the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. my father told me a story of some rich guy, his son who was just a child(no older then 10) was kidnapped, they asked for a good chunk of money that the father could afford and still be rich he said no. they chopped off one of his fingers sent it to him, he said no and this repeated till the kid had no fingers, then they threatened to chop off his willy, finally the father paid the ransom. I don't recall most of the facts, I was pretty small at the time, who knows maybe my dad made the story up but I think it was a true story. then again he once told me he ran over Blitzen and santa wasn't going to be able to deliver presents that year. of course that was a joke(but he did accidentally run over a deer that day, its where he got the idea.)
