I'm really not sure if you honestly have no experience with being outbid and therefore losing through your own lack of ability to compete financially and therefore think it's a myth, or if you're just goofing on me.

Yes, they're human beings. And while once again I agree with you, the soulless corporation is a bigger problem, the fact that they're humans is less than reassuring. Just look at all those human beings in government - self-dealing, looting and immoral. Just look at all those human beings on Jerry Springer, self-dealing, looting and immoral. Have billionaires necessarily purchased a different class of soul, a Better class of soul, while they've been running around gathering their money like everyone else?
