Gee. I don't feel rich, Tonio. Probably the same as the millions of others in the same boat as I am. You sure you got the right country under review...?
Compared to people living in plenty of places outside of America, yes, I know we are considered rich.
But rich is relative. Here, in America, most of us are not rich like the way a tiny minority are. And here, in America today, I'm wondering how long before the rioting begins, when all we George Baileys start looking at all those Mr. Potters and feeling mighty resentful that they got rich off of us...
