I don't know you, but you probably don't fall on the category of "rich" in my mind.

Richer than an Indian farmer. Ok. I'm also rich then. I live in a house (not mine) and don't go hungry.

I don't even consider billionaires on the scale.....that is just an afront on humanity and shouldn't exist.

I think my personal resource consumption, if scaled up to the world population, would be devastating. That's what I mean by categorizing myself in the "rich." I might not be a billionaire, but I'm far, far above the global average, and still significantly above the national average for my nation.

Points to you, for self-awareness.
