Here are a few examples from this past month on how the “Concentration of Wealth Game” is played in the free, democratic society that is America:

Example 1
from the article -
Tom Delay headed for hot water after being caught secretly inserting $1.5 billion giveaway into energy bill that would go to the corporate ownership of state energy companies. Also, pay no mind to the $14.5 billion in corporate tax breaks included in the new bill.

Example 2
from the article -
The five-member Enron board has approved hefty pay raises for themselves that will up their pay by as much as one million dollars. The Houston-based company revealed the move in a filing with the bankruptcy court that oversaw its reorganization last year. According to the filing, the Enron board said it voted to increase its compensation retroactively. It raises the annual salary of Enron Chairman John Ray the third from 200-thousand dollars to one-point-two million dollars.

I seriously need to consider one of those jobs where I can vote myself a pay raise.
