Ken Lay was filthy rich. O. J. Simpson was filthy rich. George Soros is filthy rich.
Shall I continue down the list?
everyone in my list was a politician or an aspiring politician except for tiger woods.
however, if you pick 100 filthy rich at random and do the same for the middle and lower classes, I will take the filthy rich.
do you know why the media highlights any bad thing a rich person does ? It is because it is unusual and that makes in news.
