Dots

The politicians sell their bullshit to the consumers.
The news sells those politicians to the consumers.
New companies invent things to sell to consumers.
Stock brokers sell these new companies to consumers on the news channels.
As long as the consumer is receiving, he/she is very happy. Make ten bucks and spend it quick because liquid cash is oh so elusive. When he/she gives, he/she wants to receive something valuable at the same time. When the consumer starts receiving less than he/she gives, then he/she stops being happy. When one side of the relationship starts recieving less then it's giving, then it stops being happy. But, happiness is in the eye of the beholder.

When a rich man gives, he gives to himself. In a complex roundabout way, his money eventually comes back to him. Rockefeller's Universities pay for his factories, so in a way every student is paying him to build a factory, although indirectly. If Bill Gates gives out a million dollars, he's expecting to earn that back by selling the same person a million dollars worth of new computers.

Whoopdi doo.
