Considering the top 400 wealthiest people are billionaires and another 82, who did not make the list, are also billionaires, how do u feel about them being so rich and u being on a budget?
Is the great economic divide becoming greater, with the rich getting richer and the middle class getting poorer?
Are u on a tight budget and what amenities in life have u done without in recent times...vacation, traveling plans, parties, ball games, less time off from earning a living (working 2-3 jobs), etc...?
Ur thoughts on the "great economic divide".

Most of the super wealthy are that way because they brought something to the world that is highly valued no matter if you love or hate what they did. Wal Mart, cheap prices. Microsoft consistent software. Think of the things that would not be in this world if we had a system where everyone was paid the same no matter how hard they worked or how much they accomplished.
By the way, many of the rich are also on budgets. They may not need to be but that is part of their life style.
Many of those super rich are banding together to give away their money. Have you seen how much Bill Gates has given to charity?
