20. Common as they come, economically at least

I do think the very idea that people are defined by their economic situation is dispicable, but of course struggling economically will always be more common than being rich. In reality, far too many of our "common" brothers and sisters don't have common compassion, common political sense, or even common decency. And some of the less common "rich" people do have compassion.
It isn't solely about money.
