Thank you, Bruce...a high compliment coming from you.

Bobert-
"...not the rich deserved their wealth..."

This is how I found that wiki answer. In today's (Monday's) Wall Street Journal letters, a writer averred, in regard to the income gap, that "Behavioral studies generally confirm that a majority of people prefer to be above-average in income at a lower absolute level rather than below average BUT (emphasis mine) with more income to spend and more purchasing power."

While I am in some agreement with that observation, I was looking for some sort of study which could support or deny the assertion.
