We hear now on all sides the term "Robber Barons" applied to some of the great capitalists. ...
The old robber barons of the Middle Ages who plundered sword in hand and lance in rest were more
honest than this new aristocracy of swindling millionaires.
—Lida F. Baldwin, quoting the August 1870 issue of The Atlantic Monthly,
writing in 1907 about how little business had changed in 35 years.

God bless you with a good day and give us all enough money to reach.
To reach our needs is what I meant to say.
hehehe - Glad you clarified... I was sitting here pondering....
This is true, Lynn.
