And, it's time for the sheeple (aka, the Hoi Polloi) to recognize that radical income inequity (e.g., the corporate megalomaniacs earning--and owning--the vast majority of this planet's wealth) is our slavery du jour. Will we, as Marx predicted, rise up and throw off the shackles of "free market" capitalism? I'm skeptical.
