i've been around people of all walks of life and find most of human nature -regardless of race, sex, religion, politics, class- to be outright scary and disgusting. Changing classes won't change that. If certain people today (not 100 years ago) don't own anything, it isn't my fault or my problem. My own kin from 300+ years seem to have gone up and down in class repeatedly- one would be dirt poor (the newspaper called my great-great-father a pauper in his obituary) and another would be much wealthier - even though his 3 older brothers were not as wealthy. One might be called founder and town leader, yet his grandkid was the pauper and other kin trapped wolves for their skins (not well off). Same family, but proves that not even close kin have the same mindset.

I HATE communism. it is idealistic, negates reality, whines when it should be working or thinking. Making excuses gets you nowhere. btw, Marx is long dead and lived in another land in another generation.

Here we have a prime example of a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" ;)
