Speaking of Railroads

just to follow up on my ramblings about the millionaires of this and that,
one of the distressing things about all the billionaires is how they a
lot of them seem
to be billionaires of "the market" rather than people who actually do something
(which rich has pointed out somewhere before), corporate raiders who go around
gobbling up good paying jobs and viable companies - spiders rather than bees...
men who profit by making things harder, rather than easier, for other folks...

this is strictly impressionistic of course

but I wonder if you couldn't chart a graph where each billionaire reduces
the well being of a certain number of people by x amount annually?
