We called Fundles, but he was on tour that week.
People who make a lot of money (lawfully) are often characterized as greedy by those who are envious. We live in a great country that allows the opportunity to do what you want to do and make whatever you can, and spend it how you want. No other place like the USA - land of opportunity.
Fundles was on tour alright.......making the rounds at your local funny farm, if you catch my drift.
I am second generation of immigrants. I found it interesting that my grandparents never expressed any desire to return, not even for a visit, to their homeland. As I once heard a woman, who had fled El Salvador with the clothes on her back only to become the CEO of her own company some time after arriving in this country, tell a fellow America who was complaining about this womans wealth,
"You are sitting on a gold mine in this country, you just don't realize it."
God bless America.
