Owning patents. Some geek invented something called DOS, then Windows. Who are his customers?

A company called Du Pont owns a patent called Teflon. Who buys products with teflon coating?

Lending to rich gamblers. Well, where did u get the money to lend to rich gamblers in the first place?
Uhhh, from the central bank?

Last I checked, the central bank distributes money to other banks, who distributes the cash (through loans and investments) to everybody, and everybody circulates cash among themselves?

What's with the rich-need-the-poor implication anyway?

The poor need the rich too.

What about two middle class people? They need each other too.

Everybody needs each other.
