Well, as we've all heard from our local conservatives, all these wealthy people have earned what they have thru hard work and dedication and they have every right to buy all of the influence they can and do whatever is needed to be done to secure their wealth, regardless of the laws and regulations that the less fortunate must follow or suffer the consequences.

Hail to the Chiefs.
