It's the old saw, it takes money to make money. I've no objection to folks making money by hard work or their own investments. I have no respect for inherited money or Wall Street investment bankers who bet against their own advice. TANJ.


I asked myself that very question, and it has set me on a quest. Being poor sucks, so don't do it.
You damn betcha. When I was a kid, my family was one of those that didn't owe any income tax. Thank heaven for the socialized medicine, free housing, and subsidized food and consumer goods provided by the US Air Force and AAFES. Being poor sucked. Being upper middle class is much nicer.
