"most poor people I have met were hard workers. Interesting that your contacts were different. I wonder why that is Peter?" Perhaps it is because I met them many of the poor at work. You watched them at home. At times I worked along side them and at others I supervised them. My observations came from knowing what performance standards were, and measuring them against them. Are your observations scientific also, or are they subjective? "My fraternity read like the fortune 500. Its there that I met some of the worst slackers I have ever met. I am not impressed with the rich like you seem to be." You are discussing the spoiled children of the rich. I am discussing the self made rich, or at least the business owning or professional "rich". I have known more than a few idle trust fund brats in my day. They deserve little respect. "I lived in a barrio for several years." Sounds like you stayed longer than I did.
