Lizzie, your post certainly proves that perceptions differ when reading comments on the internet. First of all, I haven't seen anyone "resenting" what you call "the ease of wealth creation for people under 30 in the 90s". What I see is a lot of resentment toward older people who--allegedly-- somehow left these "wealthy" young folks in the dust and are now somehow responsible for all the world's ills and especially any hardship endured by the younger ones. Second, most of the complaining on this thread seems to come from California. If your state didn't tax the daylights out of businesses and hadn't been driving them either to desperation or driving them entirely out of your state in droves, maybe you'd have less to complain about. You seem oblivious to a premise that has been well-publicized to others around the country---California is a tough and regulation-happy place to try set up and run a business.

No. I have no resentment. I actually enjoy other people to be successful, whether or not I participate, and even if they reside in a different country. The point I was making regarding the youngster's had more to do about the reality of subjective value. And I have already shown that other people's success raises most everyone's standard of living. Your problem is that you have a sky is falling attitude and you cannot understand why someone doesn't do anything about it. Anyway I'm off for the weekend.
