Default Re: The Truth About the Rich

the rich are not the problem. Anybody can get rich if they want it bad enough and are willing to gamble/break the law/ bend the rules etc.../ Work hard enough mostly. However you can not get rich by simply working hard. You must take some risks of some sort. but i digress...
the problem is with the wealthy that comprise less than 1% of the poplulation but own over 80 or 90% of the wealth in America. I'm pulling this figure out my azz but its not far off. There was a thread about it not long ago. Concentration of wealth has some benefits (others can justify this statement) but by and large it is something that must be corrected every so often or the majority of us are doomed.
