The Idle Rich

What no one seems to understand is that the rich don't just want to be rich -- they want to be rich in comparison to poor people. The rich want to see the huddled masses and the homeless vagrants and the starving children. Whether they admit it or not, this is what they really LOVE, because it makes them feel POWERFUL in comparison.

Nobody wants to live in a Mansion if every one else they know also lives in a Mansion. In that case, they want to live in an office building or hotel.

Everyone wants to feel like a winner in the game of life and the only way the rich can do that is if everyone else is a loser.  And they have the power to make it happen.
