American billionaires get a lot richer

America's billionaires have just grown richer, a lot richer, according to this year's list of the 400 wealthiest Americans published by Forbes Magazine on Friday.

Last year, having one billion dollars would have bought you a place on the list. Now, the lowest ranked entrant has 300 million dollars more than that.

Interesting slide show from Forbes with pictures and a summary: http://www.forbes.com/2007/09/18/richlist0...thisSpeed=20000

Here's one for you to get your heads around.

All major players in the financial world hold it as a given that the State is Lucifer by another name, and that any taxation is an unspeakable evil, to be avoided by any means neccessary, except that is when you get caught with your collective pants down. Then its time to go whining like a little Girl to the big bad State, and demand some of that naughty old taxpayers(me and thee) money( over £ 20 billion at last count) The very State (Me and thee again) Intervention that on all other occasions they decry. A few more years of this and it will be God HELP Capitalism.
