No, it's an impossibility for everyone to get rich, if only because there will always be Negative Nellies who would rather sit around and complain about everyone else.
We're already all rich.
We live lives that Henry the VIII would have killed a dozen more wives to have lived. Our welfare recipients have luxuries that Julius Cesar never dreamed, air conditioned houses, refrigerated foods, microwaves, cellphones and cars. Foods from around the world are within miles of our homes
We are all filthy rich - many of us are just too spoiled to grasp the fact.
We're all very fortunate in this country. It's one of the reasons I feel blessed.
Of course, some people are more fortunate than others. And it's weird how sometimes the most privileged are least willing to express gratitude for what they have. Or to admit to being fortunate.
I've never quite had the word for it. It's worse than ingratitude. It's more like spitting in the face of fate.
Ahh, another vague, unfounded assertion. "Sometimes the most privileged are the least willing to express gratitude". Is that a fact? Then you won't mind proving it, because I KNOW you don't think anyone in here is going to take your word for anything at this point.
Is it just that those damned rich people have the gall to think they worked hard for and earned what they have, and refuse to kiss the left's ass and funnel all their money into social programs to "give back" because society "gave" it all to them?
