That's why there are so many laws in place to protect the lower classes or did you think it was another conspiracy on the part of the poor? More often its lobbying by the already wealthy trying to lock out competition. They have theirs and they would rather not have to deal with tough competition. To an extent this is an example of ripping off the poor and the middle classes who pay more for goods and services in a less competitive industry but it is ripping them off with the assistance of the government, which I've already mentioned as the most common way the rich rip off other people.<?I> You misunderstood. There are a number of laws in place to protect the poor and middle classes...........3 day right of recission, rent control in some cities, usury laws, etc. They have been set up to keep the rich from ripping off the lesser classes. ted
