I was questioning your "smart" comment. I believe that the average "wealthy" person is "smarter" than the average non-wealthy person. You disagree. I have to admit this is one of the first times I've ever heard a "pro-wealth" person argue that wealthy people are not smart.
You seem to often get into "debates," make a statement, get challenged on said statement, come back with a reply insinuating that the challenger is stupid and you don't have the time to explain what you meant in your initial vague statement. It's interesting, particularly when I typically agree with about 80% of what you say and then you turn around and insult me because I questioned your initial vague statement.
By the way, thanks for being concerned about my life. Every year gets a little better.  |
LOL Fair enough. Apparently we BOTH are misunderstanding each other. When you say "outsmart", it implies that they are doing something underhanded and "tricking" the next poor guy in order to gather their wealth.
Note:
outsmart [out-smahrt]
Part of Speech: verb
Definition: outwit
Synonyms: baffle, bamboozle, beat*, bewilder, cap, cheat, circumvent, con, confuse, deceive, defeat, defraud, dupe*, end run, fake out, figure out*, finagle, fox, goose, gull, gyp, have, hoax, hoodwink, jip, juke, lead astray, mislead, outdo, outfox, outgeneral, outguess, outjockey, outmaneuver, outthink, overreach, swindle, take in, top, trick, worst
If you actually meant that they were smarter, then I totally misunderstood, and retract the snarkyness of my tone.
And in regarding your 1 billion dollars, having more value than 1 million, intrinsically, it does not. Currency is an established means where by we have agreed to MEASURE the wealth and value that we have created and gathered. It is not wealth or value in and of itself.
