Yes, the rich have more money. More to the point, intellect, being in the right place (or wrong) at a time, obligations both born to us and taken on, and "drive" have to do with it.

And there is a difference in dirt poor, working poor, middle class (term is probably wider than should be), and the ultra rich, which I figure there are few if any on here. And some people are greedy and would sacrafice anyone or thing to get ahead.

Given a powerball, most of us would not know how to be rich, especially old money rich.
