Interesting. Thank you for the link. When you look at the guilded age you think of the extreme wealth that existed with Rockefeller and Morgan and Vanderbilt. However, if you look at the dollars in 2002 that they would have its not as much as I expected. Rockefellers annual income would be approx 60 million dollars. I think Oprah makes that much money. If you look at the wealth today I think it is reasonable to say that we are in a second guilded age.
