And assuming that I am "rich," why don't you think I am really working, or did really work? Care to elaborate on that?
I disagree with Al in that I think a lot of rich people do technically work (although once you get to the "super-rich", you do see more of the "unearned income" or "money making money" thing-see Mitt Romney for a particularly appalling example...). But they don't
depend on their work for survival. Rich people don't
have to work. They have options-far more options than the vast majority of the population. When you consider that the top 1% own 45% of the financial wealth in all of America....
Rich people can live anywhere, compared to the rest of the population. Unless you live in one of those places where (essentially)
only rich people live, like perhaps parts of the Upper East Side of Manhattan or Jupiter Island, FL....but, nobody is forcing them to live there. And it's not like they have to strain their vast financial resources to live a relatively extravagant life, let alone survive, like a growing and large number of Americans have to.
