That's the beauty of a really FREE market - It automatically weeds 
out the badies.  A person with strong racist feelings would simply not 
_be_ one of the richest people in the world, because the majority of 
people don't support this idea.

Everyone with $$ has the right combination of brains, courage and 
pragmatism, otherwise they wouldn't have that much money.
I don't support the idea of having a free market on the one hand and 
politics on the other, where the winner in the money game gets to be 
the winner in the politics game.  It makes more sense to me to only 
have the free market as law maker.
