Is he counting people who go into debt to pay for everything they have?
I thought rich people were financially independent, not dependent on the financiers.
I think a good 95% of America still very much relies on the bankers to give them the appearance of ownership, but this hardly makes them rich.
It makes someone else rich for sure.
Joel, does making 3 grand a month qualify for being in your "sinful rich" class?
Osteen ain't the only wolf out there of course, this is a general sickness with any of the health and wealth "ministers" out there.
It just seems like the wealthy "ministers" are reaching for reasons to fleece, in a credible manner that is. And they seem to be taking a huge chunk of people down the pooper with them.

The definition of "rich" is entirely subjective depending on one's experience.
But in general I would agree with Mr. Osteen - as compared to the rest of the world - yes, Americans are "rich."

Compared with people in many other parts of the world, everyone in America IS rich! I don't like agreeing with anything Osteen says, but if he says that, I must. Even a homeless person in America is better off than most people in the world. It is good to remind oneself of that from time to time.

Well we do have the 3rd largest income per capita in the world. Maybe that gives them the idea that we're filthy-stinking-rich. Of course, we pay 40% of our incomes in taxes, so that kinda cuts things down a bit...
