On Relating to the rich.


On Relating to the rich. 
 
And it blows my mind to see middle and low income people think that they can relate to the super rich.  Just like the British who live vicariously through the Queen, we in the US live through the escapades of the Bush clan or the Kennedy's or some of the popular rich public personalities such as Tiger Woods or Billy Joel.  These people do not live lives that are anything like our lives.  They do not see the world the same as we do.  Their pain is not our pain and they do not feel ours, at all. 
Great wealth insulates them from our world.  No matter how charitable they are through their Foundations, they do not relate to us.  And we should not feel the need to relate to them.
