In a capitolistic society (like this one) people with more money are
treated better and for the society to stand in capitolism (meaning no
major changes or colapse of society) it must function that way.

I propose that changes *should* be made so that the society can stand
without that inequality but they simply haven't been.

I put it forward that in the current state of our society it is necessary
to treat people with more money better than us (the peons) at the bottom
because if we don't, we colapse.

That's one of the reasons I use Linux. I want to demonstrate that I can be
effective in my computer use without throwing a lot of money around and
with widespread belief in that postulate, the society might not colapse
under the straign of equality.

Jefferson believed that the Bank of the US was unconstitutional and
therefore unlawful. He was right. However, during his presidency he did
not remove it because it was serving a necessary function and he coudln't
think of a better way to get those things taken care of.

Later, Andrew Jackson removed it on the grounds that it was
unconstitutional and therefore unlawful and the nation's economy colapsed
because he didn't implement a substitute.

I don't like our stratification on the grounds of money any more than you
do but we depend on it for stability right now. Think of a better solution
and I'll give my life to your cause.
