Everything in this fixed economy is about enriching the oligarchy. Everything.

Where does the money go? How can they justify the exorbitant prices of everything? I wanted a piece of plexiglass (plastic) the other day at a big box home improvement store and was told it would be $100.00. For a thin piece of plastic. Anyway, just some random thoughts spurred by the following infographic (from Upgrade Seattle via DSLreports).
