I'm too young to have experienced the Depression, but my parents did and their frugality carried them through. They practiced it almost to a fault, and now I am still trying to get rid of stuff that has no practical use in today's economy but they kept because they could see potential for it.

My only point was that you don't fix inequity by tearing down success, but by adding to it. I have no love for people with a surplus of money and a lack of sense, but tearing them down to reduce disparity is not the way to go. Build up the lower levels.

No way am I part of the new rich. I'm a retired wage-earner and my pension is barely enough.
