If less than 2% of Americans are rich, that means there are some seriously delusional people out there. Call this the Joe the Plumber syndrome. I guess this explains why poor and middle class people support policies that favor the rich and screw the middle class.
Surely thanks to "progressive thinking" that teaches kids from a young age to live in a fantasy world- I am a special and unique snowflake! The world revolves around ME. I deserve to make a million dollars just for being born and bringing joy to everybody!!!
In my view, income has little to do with whether one is considered rich.
Someone making a huge income and spends all they make and more will never be rich. But someone who saves their money and puts it to good use can one day be rich.
And if your definition is correct then republicans have a better understanding of "middle class."
The sad thing about that is that obviously at least one 1 in 3 Americans obviously want to be rich in the first place.
Yea, all of those people who died for that dream, or all of the immigrants who endured untold hardship to provide that opportunity for their children were just - as you say "sad". Good Grief

Well, I think it makes much more sense to dream of being happy, loved, healthy, cozy, etc.
What's wrong with having an optimistic view on life? I'd be more concerned if no one thought that they could be rich.
I'm with you, i have more respect for those who dream big, then those who wittle around lazy, complaining about what they will never have, but yet do not wish to work for a living, no respect at all, and little respect for those who drain our system, when there is no reason what so ever they can work, except for sheer laziness.
And being rich, is to eaches own, for each person's version of being rich is considered much different, what is wrong with being very comfortable.
