Issue #281 of ELECTRONIC PROTOCOL:

******************************************************************************
    B.  RIGHT TO LEVEL PLAYING FIELD means that in all legal cases, both
    sides have the right to declare the maximum amount each side can
    spend in the case.  We WILL define the party declaring the larger
    amount RICH and the other party POOR.  The maximum amount spent by
    each side is the lesser of the amounts declared by the RICH party and
    the POOR party.  If the RICH party wishes, the amount of the POOR
    party plus the amount the RICH party is WILLing to subsidize can be
    the maximum amount.  A POOR party MAY refuse this subsidy in which
    case simply the lesser of the two amounts would be used.
