Why in the world does any one person need to acquire so much wealth to be able to own that, while a huge part of the planet's population is food insecure? Could it be that wealth begets power which allows a person or industry to accumulate even more money? Where does it end?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for capitalism. But it has to be held in check. And Number 1 is... keep your dang $ (or rubles) out of politics!!! We should be able to make national decisions based on the good of ALL, not just what the richest 200 families in the world want.
