Anyone who can afford such outrageously expensive toys certainly
provides their
offspring with sufficient cash, as well.  The plain fact is that not
everyone lives
on government subsidy.  Some folks don't reproduce expecting the
government to
pay for their offspring.  I know it's hard to believe, but we're not a
totally
socialistic country yet, and while people are still allowed to make and
spend
whatever the free market will bear, such excess will exist, even if you
need
food stamps to buy food so you have enough cash left to buy lottery
tickets.

Merry Christmas!
