12. It's the 21st-century version
of The Robber Barons, since this is exactly what was happening at the turn of the last century. The good thing about that, though, is that it led directly to the rise of the Populist Party, and all of the social and economic reforms that helped society tremendously and that we now take for granted (and that Shrub and his greedy minions now are so hell-bent on taking away!)
