Sure, charity is good, but charity takes money. So, I’ll put hotels on all my properties, and get as much of everyone else’s money as possible. And in the process of getting rich, I’ll devote a portion of my income to charity. Bottom line: the more money I have, the better for charity.
And I know I’ll do much better if I do it with the little dog as opposed to the iron. But really, nothing will hold me back. Except maybe jail. Whatever happens, just make sure you have the cash if you land on my square.
The more money one has the more beautiful his property too. Without wealth there would be no extravagance, no beautiful buildings, gardens, fancy jewelry, art, expensive cars, etc. The accumulation of wealth makes life interesting.
The thimble is boss.
I always went for the top hat. I guess it’s the closest to the monocled capitalist fat-cat image, and that works for me. 😉
I always picked the car – a big-ass, gas-guzzling sedan!
Played Monopoly almost daily in Summer for several years as a youngster. Don’t wish to see another board.
