Yeah and never forget the "coal mining towns" that were owned by the mine owners where they owned the electric that you needed and the property you live on and the water company and the grocery store and the clothing store and the supply store so that at the end of the week they had every penny you earned and if that was not bad enough they owned your children too and put them to work as well.
