I know some folks who are very bright, willing to work 9-5 (actually much longer than that) are not satisfied with punching a clock and willing to take on any risk. I guess that makes them fatcats, right. Oh, wait a minute. There's one thing missing. Oh yeah, money. How smart do you have to be to invest and keep your money and make more? I say most folks are plenty smart enough. And in many cases, more industrious than the folks who don't have to work but just invest their money. So really, the thing that separates the lazy rich from the working poor is that the rich are......rich and the working poor are......working. That's not going to make the rich folks mad, but what does it look like from the perspective of the working poor?

Go ahead and see if you can convince me that rich folks are somehow more industrious, or smarter, or more productive than working men and women. From where I sit, the real difference is that the rich have the money. When the majority of the nation wakes up and notices they fall into the "working poor" category, there are going to be problems.

Super U have the typical Liberal attitude that those making a $ are evil. That everybody would be better off living in a socialst paradise. Only one problem that philisophy has been discredited and is now on the scrap heap of history.
