I spent a quick minute thinking about the Royals, that morphed into the super rich etc.
I am so glad I am not one of them or in that group. They have no freedom, sure they can go to any country and ultra top notch hotel/resort encampment they want, but they are stuck there, they can't walk the street, shop, take in a movie, try a new restaurant, watch a little league game, swim meet etc. They are stuck rubbing elbows with a small sampling of others in the same dammed boat. Sure they have the yacht, the private plane and 20,000 sq ft house but you're still stuck. When is the last time Bill Gates stopped and got an ice cream cone at a local storefront? Ever run into one of these people at the sand bar?
I'm very comfortable in life, like many of you I have a few toys and time for a hobby or two. I get to talk with my neighbor and use his saw if I need to, my kids are on soccer and softball teams and other parents will get together and cook out or share donuts during games.
I think the super rich want to control everything is because they are so bored and envious of us, we truly have it all, in limited amounts and doses but yes, we are the fortunate ones.
