Comment by MrVandemar

The principle can be broadly applied. The stock market and our society as a whole, the money never trickles down, it floods upwards, and the few people at the top will never be me, and it will never be you. Don't play the game.

Reminds me of an Andy Capp comic:

Andy: I need to borrow a fiver to put on "Flighty Horse" at 5pm. It's a certainty! I can't lose!

Flo: Where did we go on holiday?

Andy: Yer mum's.

Flo: Where did your bookmaker go on holiday?

Andy: Jamaica.

Flo: Think about it.
