Someone here posted a question asking why Democrats degraded rich people. He then argued that making money and striving for success were good things. He also asked why we wanted to be "average".
Excuse me, but I have nothing against making money. In fact, I'm all for striving for money and success as long as it's all done ethically. Not only that, but would a person who places value on things other than money, success, and material possessions be considered BELOW AVERAGE? Perhaps some people place value on other things. Perhaps they place more value on things like personal fulfillment and making a valuable contribution to society. Not only that, but the mere implication that anyone who isn't wealthy is below average is an insult to MOST Americans. Sure, most Americans work for a living, but most of them certainly don't get rich. However, in my opinion, as long as you do good, honest work, you're ABOVE average, even if you don't get rich.
