Paul, I'm with you! Everyone should to be a billionaire!! :-) Speaking of that, I saw an interview recently with the founder of Amazon, he lost something like 3 billion dollars in the last few weeks due to Amazons stock decrease. I wonder if the government should give some of those taxes back when a billionaire suffers so?? :-) That guy is a TRUE American success story! I heard he quit his job back east and while driving across country wrote the business plan for Amazon. Since books were already cataloged he felt it was the easiest item to be integrated and sold on the web. How right he was! And he probably created at least a million new jobs by motivating other risk takers to join him in the internet commerce revolution. The spread of billionaires (due to the internet revolution) is a huge weapon the American economy possesses. And what is even more exciting is so many of them are sooooo young. Imagine what they will do in the next 20 years with all those billions! Michael
