Rich

The state of mind of having more than someone else leads a person to feel rich. If anybody asks if you are rich, and they are talking about money, the answer is nearly always, No. That is because there is always someone that you know who has more than you do, sometimes much more. If a person has an envious nature, they tend to be pleased when someone who has more money loses some - you then become more equal to them. If hatred is involved there is a desire that the person would lose much more so that they will have less than you - not be as rich. There are some people who desire all to be equal, they are called communists. A realist recognises that we cannot all be equal and accepts that there are many gradations of rich people. Indeed, some people who may consider themselves rich are not when they are judged by someone who is very rich. The poor people in a third world country look upon poor people here in this country as being very rich. They look upon the car, TV, telephone, diet and living conditions of our poor and long to also have it all. That is why so many people want to come to this country. We have a political class that wants to tax the rich, take some away from them so that it can be distributed to others. This is acceptable to many people who do not understand that this is a communist principle: take from those who have and give it to those that don't have. Are we becoming more communistic is this country? Is capitalism doomed? Do we want respect for property rights or not?
