I recently spoke with a gentleman in the lock and security business. His house is far from paid for, his vehicles are expensive to operate and maintain. He told me his property and casualty insurance agent has lived in a PAID for home and has driven PAID for cars for the last twenty years. After he shared this information, I asked him a question; What do you think this means to you and I?? He replied, it means the insurance agents and insurance companies are getting wealthy off the backs of the little people.
And so it is.......

Your observations of how you believe most Americans go about building and obtaining their wealth, is so incorrect and wrong, Husky Man.

"..getting wealthy off the backs of the little people." HA!. Sounds like "Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains"  |
Agreed.
"Baloney," indeed!
The vast majority of wealthy folks in America got that way by both working for it, AND understanding how to build that wealth.
Many ppl don't seem to understand how AND why many Americans got their wealth.
