You sound like a limousine liberal... I don't have a limousine, but I have rode in some. When my wife an I got married we lived in a place we rented for $50/month. The bathroom had overflowed enough times in the previous 30-40 years that all the wood floor had rotted away and the toilet sat like a throne on it's sewer pipe in a huge gap in the floor. There was a board wedged between a coupling in the pipe and the remaining floor that you had to negotiate without knocking it off. The rest of the house was merely decrepit. At least the plumbing was indoors. We got food stamps. I got through school, and landed a job with Ross Perot, who was just as flakey in real life as he appeared on TV. I bought a new suit for that job, and on my first day I was told to never wear that suit into work again. It was the only one I had (tan corduroy). I came the next day in a more hideous polyester suit, they finally assigned someone to "assist" me in picking out a suit with the understanding that I didn't need to get it until after my first payday. Fast forward, my wife and I have been on the winning side of some technology companies and stocks. Now I'm at the point where I don't want to be poor and shake my fist at the wealthy, but I think I understand the situations, and the dangers it poses to opportunity.
