I have found that wealth is too expensive to spend my life chasing it. However, I want and deserve the opportunities to live reasonably well with material things, have access to reasonably good health care. Have quality education available for me an my family.

Somehow I can't find anywhere that I said I didn't care if the "system" is r****d. If you're going to refute then use my statements, not yours. But, be that as it may, I still can't find where the Kardashians or the Trumps having more money than God has ANYTHING to do with someone sleeping on a urine soaked mattress because of the aforementioned ones actions.
