Huh? Money buys you attorneys and the power to do things that you could not do as a poor man. The poor rarely have the means to fight back. The poor normally don't have to fight back against attorneys. They prefer to sue people with money. Name a very rich person that has gotten their by directly stealing from the poor. About the only way that I can think of that the rich get that way (or get much richer) by stealing from the poor is indirectly through the government, for example any type of price supports or import barrier on good that poor people consume hurts the poor, thus government supported milk compacts and barriers to textiles benefit rich agribusiness and help textile companies, at the expense of the poor. But while such subsidies and barriers are too common they are the exception not the rule. Most wealthy people didn't rely on them to become wealthy. Tim
