Dallas is competitive in all kinds of ways, but just about everyone agrees on the most common measuring stick: Money.
Who’s got it? Who’s getting it? Who used to have it and now wishes he had it back?
While establishing someone else’s wealth can be dicey business, that doesn’t keep the ambitious folks at Forbes from taking a crack at it. When they put together their list of the 400 richest people in America, plenty of Texans made the cut.

What's your point except complaining about how somebody or something is controlling and ruining your life. Wake up, for the most part big corporations are good. They employ a lot of people and produce high quality goods at a cheap price. Do you realize that we would not have enough food if it wasn't for the advances made by corporations.
