Interestingly, I heard on 960 this morning Peter Loumbardius say how social media seems to make everyone an expert in everything. People look at the outside and think they understand and they just don't. That is clear in this post and so many others.
I have made my point and either you can accept it or not. I am not building up ultra rich/successful people. I just believe that it takes a lot of things for them to get where they are and hard work is a lot of it. The they are born rich is true in some cases and others it is not. As example my relative comes from a farm life and started with nothing. Are there others that had a head start. Absolutely! They are the bad ones if I read a lot of these posts.
Again, I have had my say.

You need to learn about this and understand it, justaguy. "People look at the outside and think they understand", as you said yourself. It seems you just don't understand the political climate that has allowed the rich to conquer those beneath them in a way they historically couldn't.
