ngl if all them multi-billioneres thier money on plenty of bread and circuses....id probably be alot merrier. 'stead they use pitances to ~~bribe~~ lobby politicians to hoard gild. Of course they could also just stop bleeding us dry, making everything prohibitively expensive, they could still make more money then they could spend.....can only get so much blood from a turnip before it bleeds you.
