Well, lucky for the rich and powerful,  it turns out the poor have kidneys, muscles, blood, the can work for the rich, they can sell their bodies to the rich.<p>So have no fear, the rich  will figure out a way to take advantage of the poor even after the poor don&#x27;t have any pieces of green paper or stamped metal circles left.
