What you know is good

I don't think the bloodline, has as much to do with it, as their bank accounts do.

THIS stuff really pisses me off.........

Have you ever thought that they work their ASSES off.

I watched an interesting story about Millionaires a few years ago....It is amazing all the stupid **** us "common" folks do that millionaires don't.

I suspect there are a lot with a silver spoon, but I suspect there are a **** ton more that simply work HARDER than most......which I will say is a lost art.

BO has never worked a day in his life and he seems to be doing pretty well with politics. Most of our congressmen have become millionaires from politics. Some have even turned 1000 bucks into 100,000. You and I aren't that lucky. I kind of like the idea that our founders had which was for our neighbors to go and serve in the government and then go back to the farm where they came from. Seems once they get in now, they don't want to leave. Must be a cash cow in there somewhere.

Being born into promise helps.....ALOT. However many many super rich folk got there from what George said...good ole fashioned hard work and serious and I mean serious going without for long periods of time to get there.

Now all that being said, being born into an ubber rich family does bring its mighty advantages....

I know that hard work will get you benefits. BUT WHAT I MENTIONED WAS ELECTED OFFICIALS OFFSPRINGS. I know some of them really achieved their position through hard work. BUT many didn't, Nepotism is alive and well.
