Subtle Knife: Strong Statements

Black: "Every morning, I get up and look through the 'Forbes' list of the richest people in America. If I'm not there, I go to work."

Grey:
...must be a well-thumbed copy.

Black: actually it is... : ) but it's always warren buffet, bill gates, Carlos Slim Helu, Indians, Chinese, Russians, nobody from our neighborhood...

Grey: ...you mean, no Filipinos on the list? You should see the Asian or World listing. Damn you SM!

Black: http://www.forbes.com/lists/2008/10/billionaires08_The-Worlds-Billionaires_Rank.html

Grey: Mind boggling. Damn you Lucio Tan (#785) and damn you Henry Sy (#843).

White: I can understand people wanting to be rich but nobody possibly needs BILLIONS. If all these Billionaires restricted themselves to just 1 billion & redistributed the rest all the people in the world would be well-fed, educated & have access to good healthcare. There would be no need for war, We'd have millions more doctors & scientists & global society would advance very quickly towards more wealth and care to all. Ans this attitude coming from a capitalist! Sigh...

Grey: "Touché!" Said the rat to the cat.

White: we have no other choice but to wake up each day and ask ourselves "should i stay in bed and sleep or go to work and get paid?" - and that's every single day! sigh!
