>> Very few of the rich are winners......most either inherited their wealth or cheated their way to the top. This is a demonstrably false statement. In the top twenty richest people in America, you have -- Buffett Ellison Koch (I) Koch (I) Walton (I) Soros Adelson Walton (I) Walton (I) Walton (I) Bloomberg Bezos Zuckerberg Brin Page Paulson Dell Ballmer Out of those 20, six inherited a substantial portion of their wealth, and I assume you would claim Koch's cheated their way to the top (in addition to inheriting wealth LOL). Four of those six are poor Arkansans who got rich from a single, first generation inheritance from Sam Walton who created EVERY NICKEL of that wealth fairly and without ANY inheritance. NONE, AFAIK, has ever been convicted of any crime. I doubt any of them is stupid. These people, for the most part, created their wealth by giving Americans jobs and creating economic productivity. Except for maybe Soros. You are either ignorant, a liar, or both.
