<Cheer up<g> how wealthy do you want to be?All you need is a slice of peasant bread with some honey , and a nice cup of tea.> Fortunately for me, I'm quite happy without the honey, unlike most people [which is why I was able to become a capitalist in the first place = save and invest the honey for a few years then enjoy not just honey, but all the good stuff]. What's weird is that most people are so at the whim of the seven deadly sins that they'd rather do without anything than suffer the envy of seeing others doing better than they are. They vote for poverty and Big Brother to enforce it. Egalitarian suffering is better [to them] than having leaders do really well, which of course the leaders can only do [in a free market] if they are providing a consumer surplus to swarms of customers. Which means, by definition, en.wikipedia.org that the wealthy have created more benefit for others than they enjoy for themselves and MUCH more when you consider that a huge chunk of tax is also taken by the state.
