Folks, most of America has experienced these problems at one time or another and yet WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO KNOW NOTHING OF THESE PROBLEMS MAKING THOSE DECISIONS THAT AFFECT US ALL !!!

Very wealthy people in this country often started out poor. I don't think anyone ever says to their children, "Get a decent education and then get a job and make a success of your life but for God's sake, don't get rich." It happens to those who work longer and take risks way often here in this country. I have heard some very interesting life stories since I have moved here.
People with a little extra money, or a lot, aren't cold because they saved something of every paycheck and didn't spend their money on things that poor people did. Warm clothing? Sometimes they wore their old clothes while "poor" people bought new. Ditto. Ditto. Ditto.
And...I have observed this;
Rich people often live and spend like they are poor and poor people often live and spend like they are rich.
