There is an old jewish proverb I remember; "The longer a jews nose is, the more wealth and treasure he will have in life". I think its a verse from the Torah. I hope this answers your question. Good luck friend.

Ha. there are lots of poor Jews.
But do you know your history? In most of Europe, where Jews were allowed to live, they were not allowed to work in most businesses or to own property. They were allowed to be tailors, and were allowed to loan money to the rich, and charge interest for it. So many poor Jews got together, and pooled what money they had, and loaned it to the Rich, who used it to extract money from the peasants, and then paid it back to these groups of Jews, with Interest.
Suddenly these poor Jews were not so poor, and they did it again and again. Now not all Jews did this, but enough did, so that the myth that all Jews are rich came about.
Jewellery was another field Jews were allowed to go into. Diamonds, gold, rubies, silver... they were allowed to purchase, work and sell these.
So, the reason many Jews seem rich, is the fault of those who said, "oy, you can't do this, you can't do that, you can only do certain things." Because when people will only allow you to loan them money and will allow you to charge interest for it, you will get rich.

Anybody can be rich if they try and work real hard. Jews do just exactly this. They are not born with anything more than you are, except the money their parents left them. This process continues to grow, so you can see how they get rich.

in America most parents throw their kids out when they are eigthteen and they have no idea where to get work where to get an apartment, this is not good but this is the system that feeds the people in to the lowest end of the pay scale, as for the Jews they have a way of enhancing the way the child perceives the life they will live more than the American style parents do. many are self employed or they are familiar with enough teachings to train them for self employment or they have some train their kids to work on learning how to financially survive~few Americans do this most expect their kids to just jump in the unemployment office and sit it out for a minimum wage job just like they did forty years ago, or they just end up in school like a professional student til something comes along and they drop out to go to work to pay for it

Why are non-Jews rich? Why do you think Jews are any richer than non-Jews? Been listening to nazi or white supremacist propaganda?
