ALL OF US are part of the 99% that got fucked over by them... nobody here is so damn rich that they made billions from the crash, that they created, that nobody got into any trouble for.

Stop being so damn thick headed on this entire subject... you're a piss stain like the rest of the population in the eyes of the truly wealthy that control this country and influence our Gov.
While all of that is true, there are levels of rich. I think Chris Rock was the one who said, there is rich and then there is WEALTH. The people you speak of, the real movers and shakers in the world, have wealth. Rich is open to interpretation, but none of us here are wealthy. However, you can bet that a few more years of this and a lot more of us will be heading towards being poor.

My own personal financial definition of "rich" would be not having to worry about money. Ever. You set yourself up right and money is now of no concern. Then you are financially rich.

Poor would be when you are stressing about where your next $100 is going to come from, or you are struggling to make ends meet, if you can make them meet at all.
