I don't see cash as terribly inconvenient, only a slight inconvenience. I consider the gas stations that pass on the lower cost of selling gas for cash as providing a valuable service. Don't understand why people are b*tching about that fact, that they have to pay 10¢ extra per gallon for a bit of convenience. Don't like it? Pay cash, as I do.

The stockholders? Mostly average people, directly or otherwise. I'd rather run my own business as I see fit, than have a pack of idiots like the average American as my "boss."

The guy on Main Street can own enough to be comfortable for the rest of his life. Beyond that, why is more money needed?
