Wealth is defined by resources, efficiency and human ingenuity. If you can figure out how to use resources from other solar systems, galaxies or universes then technically wealth is infinite.

Now if you want to define wealth as money, which constantly changes value by its supply, then you'd e correct.

As it stands wealth is also defined as material things.

That's a pretty good description. Here's an example of abundant wealth that is neither created, or earned. You are a tribal society of hunter gathers, living in the midst of a rich area abundant with edible vegetation and wildlife. You don't own it because you don't recognize the concept of property rights you just live where you live. Who wouldn't argue that such a group isn't wealthy even though the have neither created wealth nor own it.

Yes, and those that most-staunchly, still support Obama should be seriously embarassed by how many votes he BOUGHT with his rhetoric, and I mean literally bought because as this lady says, this is why they voted for him.

They think as pitifully, or don't think at all....or care to THINK......or they think he has "money trees" growing on the White House lawn.

If there are, they haven't responded.

You just contradicted yourself. You answered yes to the OP's question and responded by saying that they think it grows on trees.

Do you even know what static means?

Your statement that my friend was made up was a baseless accusation. Thanks for making me explain the obvious.

Yes, and yes you nailed me good, on this one!

There are many liberals that do not understand where government revenue comes from, and they show this by what they say like the lady in the first video.

I'm highly disgusted by them and their handout-president and indeed misspoke out of my disgust for their attitude of not caring what someone worked for and created, which contributed to the govt. funds. (My cliche about the money tree pops up much of the time when I encounter or refer to those that take money for-granted.)
