Only poor people work hard. Actually a lot of wealth is created by rich hard working people who are never satisfied, and always want more. In my observation, that's the biggest difference between a rich country and a poor country, the number of rich people who keep working to make more and more wealth.

ElM, that's false premise heaped on wrong first principle. <Only work produces wealth. Only poor people work hard. > It isn't just work which produces wealth. Thinking produces most wealth. I have noticed that people tend not to think of thinking as being work. It isn't just poor people who work [hard or soft]. Have you heard of $ill Gates? Dr Irwin Jacobs? On the contrary, I'd say rich people work harder than poor people. Poor people are poor because they don't work hard, lack intelligence or are in political systems of theft rather than private property protection. Mqurice
