The world's richest man, Bill Gates, has created thousands of jobs at Microsoft. He has also donated billions to charity. Most rich people are generous and responsible. Less could be said for a government which builds housing projects, then blows them up 10 years later. Even the poorest American would be considered wealthy in Ethiopia or India.
Class envy is stupid and childish.
We should put it aside, once and for all. Seems to me these United States should have enough economic clout to be able to lean a little on Mexico and Venezuela in this matter of oil deliveries. And also, one might add, on Saudi Arabia, which kingdom we have been protecting from Saddam Hussein and the Iranian ayatollahs for lo, these many years. A commodity not conspicuous by its presence in United States international affairs. Maybe somebody will gather up the courage to do something.
