What does being poor or rich have anything to do with the world today?
If I could do anything, I'd bump off Hugh Hefner and take his job [img]tongue.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Ask a rich man how he can influence the world and then go ask a poor man how he can influence the world.
The rich rule...the poor get poorer. [/QUOTE]I'm sorry but your point escapes me to a most frightening degree.
Freedom and equality can't exist because if everyone and everything is equal, how can you be an individual? You couldn't be, you'd have to do everything like everyone else would. There wouldn't be competition, drive, motivation, nothing. The world would be so horribly bland and boring if everyone was equal.
I think you're reading too much into the 'poor and rich' aspect. Not everyone wants something better than the next person. We'd like to have money so we can have nice things. Good meals, a nice car, a nice home, it doesn't always have to be an ego battle like you're making it out to be.
