nk.net... If you look at who is wealthy in the US you will notice that the list is constantly changing and that most of them made their own way. Don't take my comments personally. Just because you're rich, that doesn't mean I think you personally are driving this country to ruin. If you look at the wealthiest and most powerful in our country, they all came from wealth. The idea that "the list is constantly changing" is laughable. The *order* of the people on the list does change, but the people who are on that list doesn't change very much at all. [...] It is not a perfect system by any means but it seems to be better than any other system. That is certainly debatable, but I won't bother...I've already done too much off-topic here. The "poor" around here are the ones who don't work or don't show up for work during hunting season or when there is a foot of powder at the ski resort. Ahh, yes...must be nice to live somewhere that doesn't have truly poverty-stricken people. Suffice to say, there are plenty of urban areas in the US where the poor are a lot worse off than the ones near your mountain getaway, and for most of whom all they did wrong was to be born into the wrong economic class. There certainly are lazy people around, and they often wind up poor (but there's lots of lazy rich people too). But to assert that if you are poor, you are obviously lazy is just plain ignorant.
