Subject: RE: BS: World's Richest People Get Richer
Bobad, I didn't know how you meant it so I wasn't actually attacking you for saying it, but I find it disturbing when we 'small people' show ourselves as mean-spirited, envious and grasping as any of the really rich ones. There are rich people who hoard their money and chortle over the pile in the night; there are also rich people who use what they don't need to help the helpless. There are rich people who fund research, people who are whole-hearted in their efforts to eradicate simple diseases that need only funding to make it happen. In other words, there are rich people who are trying to make the world a better place.

There are also poor people who try to make their own sphere a better place; there are poor people who are mean-spirited, envious and grasping.
