Rich Old Rulers

So this week, Forbes came out with a list of the richest rulers in the world. The most upsetting: Fidel Castro. His country's in shambles, but good to see he's well-off. So much for the re-distribution of wealth.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the point of having mass amounts of wealth so you don't have to work? And it's one thing to be a rich version of John Henry (Thanks: "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions"), but to be the leader of a country? I'm not advocating some poor schlub be president or king, look what happened in The Napoleon of Notting Hill, but it just proves some leaders are idiots.

The thing of it is: I know it's about power. But they're all still idiots. But not these idiots.
