Peter, if it was up to you guys and no government intervention, we probably WOULD still have kids working in the mines. The robber barons you talk about in the last 'guilded age' had it a bit easier accumulating all that wealth because they could kill their employees that were trying to organize into unions, and basically treat their workers as slaves. Also, they had a small thing called 'no taxes' on their side. In any event, in the current cycle the very top is getting the lion's share of the spoils, and as even our dear President said, have been pulling ahead 'for the last 25 years'....
