Is the precious resource,

“heart beats ” really more

valuable in a capitalist

than it is in the proletariat?

honorable business man

yet his sense of fairness

is dictated by the market.

and in fact spends most of his time

in private restaurants, clubs, houses (gated),  

and resorts for  the rich
