The problem with this thought is the word "rich".

There are two classes we could call rich.

1. The group who is at the forefront of making things work. Always innovating. Entrepreneurs.
2. The group of leaches. Such as Zeros and Buffette who make money by controlling the money. How much money could you make if you could borrow money at 0% interest and lend it for whatever you could get? How much money could you make on the stock market if you had both inside information and enough money to move the market?
