s-10,good point,,these millionares were middle and lower class,they went out and TOOK THE CHANCEon life and made it,,same as anyone can do if they want it bad enuff,,but it is to easy to have govt do the work for them thru handouts,,, my grandfather was born in 1894,lived till 1997,killed in car wreck with my grandmother, he always told us about the great depression,and also pointed out,that people make big deal about how much things cost today,,he said like ,i remember for a nickle you could do this ,for a dime you could do that,but what he also said was people dont think before they comment like that,cause that nickle was 8 hrs work or that dime was a days work,,so compare currency and things arent no worse today than they were 90 yrs ago, he would always warn of our govt taking control,which hw probably looking down now laughing saying told ya so young lad,,he said all time,the welfare program from the dems was the tearing down of our society,making healthy americans lazy and dependent on a govt that doesnt care for anyone but what they can get from your paycheck,, he also woulds state americans today can never have it rough like the golden era of the 20th century, back then you didnt run to store for milk,bread, not even cigs ,roll your own, you didnt run to a dept store for clothes,mom and daughters made them,,, he ritired from the coal mines in the 60's,never asked no one for nothing,went to work at a forge afterwardstill he was 74 yrs old, and would tell me his social security check he recieved ,he didnt earn that much to get it as long as he did,he was living off other peoples payroll taxes, now i listen to all you whiners on here about how bad our economy is, lets live in the shoes of someone like my grandfather who could tell you first hand what it is to struggle, there was no hand outs then, just pure desire to make a living on their own , not like today where everyone wants things handed to them,,
