43. There are some things on which we agree, but I'm not sure the scheme works that way in reality...

I don't believe the rich want anything more than to be left alone. They don't want to understand who creates wealth when it comes to the delivery system, since money is a great insulator.

When I was a little girl and the early 60's meant something for everyone in my neighborhood, I didn't know the stratification (lower, middle lower, lower middle, middle, upper middle and the unknown "rich&quot . I wasn't aware even when it changed so that some family like my blue collar upper lower (I suppose) would morph into what would be middle class these days.

I know that change comes with a price. It's going to cost all across the strata.
