Speaking of viable, and environmentally friendly economies, I was wondering what the true inflationary effect of the six figure plus, rape and pillage incomes is on the prospects of the less corporately minded, more environmentally concerned other half? As the gap between the incomes of the "socially and environmentally conscious" sector and the "grab all the resources and run crowd" widens, more and more people are effectively squeezed out of the franchise. Ultimately, this will have a destabilizing effect, which I think makes the case for some sort of limit setting on profits and the amassing of wealth. I know that a rising tide raises all boats, but if your digs are in the belly of the ship, it still feels like you're under water.
