Read them, or not. Believe them, or not.

I don't really care any more. I'm out of here.
Well I don't care either and possibly never did on this issue.

But if I did, I would argue that the wealthy today are descended from people who were not wealthy, and that many poor people of today are descended from the wealthy of another age.

And that most wealthy people in North America would not be in North America if they were wealthy before getting on the boat.


Myself I am not wealthy, but I would be a lot less comfortable, perhaps even poorer than I started out, if I had just sat around blaming the wealthy for raining on my parade.
