In reply to the discussion: Billionaire Sam Zell: "The 1% work harder." [View all]Are_grits_groceries
(17,111 posts)Some of the hardest working people I know have college degrees and such. They don't get very far and NOT because they are dumb or whatever.
1-A lot of people in all levels of society have high work ethics. They are also respected and they have integrity. These are not solely characteristics of the rich.
2-People work hard in school and do the best they can. They may not have money for college. Many of them do put a priority on education for their Kids.
3-Some people don't earn enough to save and invest through no fault of their own.
4-Many make as many connections as they can. They may not be in the upper echelons of business, but they try. How do you expect people to make meaningful connections in business when those they need to connect with don't even give two hoots about them?
5-Why do you assume only the rich have a plan? Anybody can make a plan to make a lot of money and never come close. They make plans, but apparently not ones you approve of.
6-So you assume those who aren't rich aren't smart? This is specious and insulting.
No! Everybody doesn't have a good chance to be well off. Think again.
