Funny old system isn't it? LOL Reply Mike, Norwalk 8/17/12 (-; I like it, alot ;-) I wasn't worth a cent two years ago, it is impossible for me to create a private enterprise because I have so many partners that have done so much already so now, I'll just have to content myself with owing trillions and trillions. Hey, a trillion here and a trillion there, pretty soon we're talking real money.

A Swiss billionaire actually has a billion dollars while a US billionaire merely owes a billion dollars.
