You must be losing the argument.
It is shallow to work hard, to want a nice house in a nice neighborhood. It is shallow to agree to common rules for living in a neighborhood. It is shallow to be a person who wants the old American dream. Getting rich is shallow to you?
Dude, the chip on your shoulder tells me you have given up on it.

Ok now you just sound like an idiot. It's shallow to believe you are better because you have more wealth.
That's what I've been saying.
Simply getting rich is NOT the American dream. If it were drug dealers and Kenneth Lay wouldn't be despised.
The American Dream is to live in a FREE land where everyone has the equal opportunity to work hard and acheive the type of life they dream of. If that involves being rich, great! More importantly it involves the ability to pursue liberty and happiness, and to let other people do the same, even if it presents a minor inconvenience to you.
This may be a new concept to you (along with common sense, and grace) but wealth doesn't determine your value as a person. I know, it's a wild thought isn't it!!
