The rich guy has more because he has earned more and created more. Or he inherited more --- but those I don't envy at all because there can't be much real pride in doing nothing but inheriting your wealth. At least the types who got rich from working and creating can be envied and respected for their abilities but they tend to come from the middle class --- not the inherited wealth class.

True, but the inherited wealth class is very, very small. Thomas Stanley makes that clear in all his Millionaire books. I can't remember the percentge of millionaires who inherited their riches, but I believe it was under 20%. The vast majority of the rich created their own wealth and prosperity.
