A most enlightened person has this to say about the rich
« on: October 21, 2011, 08:33:42 AM »
I don't remember her exact quote but I never forget the essence of it...it goes something like this:

"The rich are all the same everywhere you go. A rich American is a rich French. A rich French is a rich Chinese. A Rich Chinese is a rich Saudi. A rich Saudi is a rich Russian. A rich Russian is a rich American, and so on. The rich...they all behave and think the same. And they all can easily substitute for one another...the only difference is they called themselves American, French, Chinese, etc. but they are all the same. Having said that, the masses are also all the same wherever you go as well."

Your thoughts?

That should solve racism then, right? If everyone is the same, let's not discriminate. :2funny:

Every thinking person knows that racism is good for the ruling class and the rich in a democratic nation such as the United States.

There's a truth to that.  To be rich you have to not have this kay-do, I'm the victim attitude and take your success into your own hands.  For example, we have a bunch of Hmong people on PH who thinks that the cards they were dealt with were bad so they cry about it all the time not knowing that they've done absolutely nothing about it.  GET OVER IT.

Being rich is not an accident.  You have to earn it or steal it legally like the big banks.

What about people like Paris Hilton? If she was born into a poor white trash family...what are the odds of her being rich?

Man or woman doesn't matter in America. They can work their way up into being rich. Paris Hilton could start a business or maybe even get into Hollywood and get in the same path she's in today.

Those are called destiny...or fate...or with V8's explanation/terminology based on sound logic/reasoning, "God's Will." ;)

Being a lawyer and all, you probably can enlighten us more with the response to your own question. ;)

I can. But I want to know what others are thinking and how they behave.
