It is a consolation to the poor people to think otherwise, but it does
not make it so.

Who is happier, a rich guy in a warm shop trying to weld gold bars
together with a Dynasty 350DX, or a poor guy sprawled on a wet cold
concrete, trying to fix up up his clunker car with a decaying
tombstone AC welder?



Gee Iggy. I've known people that were happier digging ditches than
working at a nice, cushy, high paying job. The guy with the 'clunker'
may enjoy the challenge of accomplishing something, with almost
nothing. I know that I always did.

Also, what do you expect rich people to say? That they are bored
****less, and have money as their only a friend? You forget that a lot
of them are world class experts at lying.
