Hey Susie:
Actually I would love to see those stats also. I am simply highlighting how much I dislike blanket statements.

I've known some very wealthy people who make very stupid decisions. Taking money from clients, taking from special interests to perform certain tasks, stealing from pension funds, fraudulent insurance claims, defaulting on contractual obligations, you name it.

You see, money doesn't make anybody smarter, better or more honorable. Some rich people have gotten rich by screwing many others. Trump will tell you that himself.
I'm not trying to be negative, I simply don't agree with blanket statements.

Bull$hit.

It may not be politically correct to say so, but you are wrong. How many jobs have been provided by poor people? How many poor people contribute to charitable organizations? To be poor in this economy, you have to be somewhat dim witted if not just a lazy bastard.

Just because some bad people are rich, does not mean that money does not contribute to ones ability to be a better person. If money allows for an education, than money DOES make you smarter. If money allows you to contribute to your church, feed a poor person or give someone a job, it DOES make you better and even more honorable.

Talk about blanket statements!
