I'm reminded of what Ralphie said after getting his secret decoder pin and decoding the "secret message, from Little Orphan Annie herself" as read by Pierre Andre:

Fine theif,

I will give you that, but it may not be Dutch Boyd, it may be someone else who decides to make a site that is much cheaper. Right? Would you pay $2400 or $50? Simple question.

Stars and other sites have considerably less rake than Party, yet a vast majority of them are still on Party..

I said it may be some other site. I am only aware of Rakefree but tell me if there are others.

The rake isnt 2300% cheaper! God, you just don't freakin get it!!! $50 a month unlimited poker with no rake isnt anything like Stars, full tilt or anyone. Do you have a brain??

EDIT: It also occurred to me that you might not be aware that every retail establishment charges you slightly more than they paid for their goods. We should put a stop to that.

When Party has the same profit margin that a very succesful retail store has I will be completely satisfied. And I am enough of a believer in free market economics to think this will happen in the not so distant future.

You know why movie theaters charge $5.00 for 25 cents worth of popcorn? It's simple. Because people LINE UP to pay it. Think about that. Let it sink in. They would be stupid to charge less. They're in business to make money.

It may seem crazy to you for Nike to pay Tiger Woods $40M per year...to them it is a BARGAIN. Couple TV shots of a Nike swoosh on his ball/clubs/shirt at the Masters and they are paid back with interest.

Welcome to the wonderful world of free market economics.

If you don't like Capitilism, move to China. You won't even be told how much you pay in sales tax there.

Raw capitalism is in no way better than a totalitarian state. The death of capitalism has been predicted. A free market, kept on a very short leach by community (government) regulations, has proven to be a winning recepy though.
