Just stole this from my friend Rachelle's blog.

"We just find it easier to hate a rich man than to love a poor person with our actual resources and energy. Most people who rail against how the mega-corps are exploiting human life try to put a stick in the spokes of the mega-corps rather than trying to meet the urgent needs of the poor that made them willing to exploit themselves as cheap laborers. The "machine" may need to be dismantled, but it needs to be done with caution, because its moving parts are human lives."
