  • Except that the rich know who to bribe with campaign contributions.

    Look at Ronald Reagan. As an actor, he was not a giant star. Plenty of folks got a higher salary. Reagan lucked into a job as spokesman for General Electric, at the time one of the biggest companies in the world. Reagan hung out with the big shots and introduced them to his Hollywood buddies; in return he got stock tips and investment opportunities that made him rich.


  • You’re middle class if you’re still working for your money. You’re rich when your money works for you.

    A $5 million a year actor/athlete still has to work; they are also paying for their trainers, agents, dietitians, clothes etc. They are upper middle class.

    A trust fund baby with an income of $1 million a year is the rich one. imho.
