You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

People who live off the efforts of others are called looters.
Thanks for pointing out who penned them. They are a collection of truth that is welcome to the ears.
Looters is my fav term for them as well. Very Objectivismist. Sadly, Ayn Rand's vision of the future has come to fruition. And they thought it would never happen. Can't wait til the part where the train crashes and takes the lawyers with it.
