schestowitzFunny you should mention that... Some people will go out of their way to deny the manipulative nature of a lot of rich people. A number of my ex-girlfriends just couldn't accept this. Their attitude was rich guys were always good guys otherwise people wouldn't give them their money. Of course after they had affairs with rich guys (which is why they are my ex-girlfriends) they figured out part of their mistake. Oh well... A Mar 08 22:56
schestowitzlesson learned too late to do any good.Mar 08 22:56
schestowitzContinuing on... I do know some rich guys who know when enough is enough. So it's not all rich people who are like this. These are the ones who pointed me in the direction I took with my initial comment. These guys can't stand to hang around other rich guys just for that reason.Mar 08 22:56
schestowitzIn terms of corporations we have to look at their reason for being. The purpose behind a corporation is to make money. If they were there to lose money then they could (at least in Canadian law) stay a small business. In the end large corporations are there to squeeze every penny out of the consumer. They will find as many ways as are allowed under the law to do so. If Apple wants a cut of the profits generated by the Mar 08 22:56
