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.

You are absolutely in tune with reality. Without successful entreprenuers and successful businesses, we would be like El Salvador. America is a giant business that employs millions of people and provides the opportunity for anyone to elevate themselves according to their ability and desire. Be thankful their are those who make millions. Those millions create opportunities for others.

Try to get a poor man to hire you for a job.

Yep. Just have to get off your butt and dig a little.
