Cue the Beatles:
Artist: The Beatles Lyrics Song: Can't Bye My Love Lyrics
Can't buy me love, love Can't buy me love
I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright 'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love
I'll give you all I got to give if you say you love me too I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love
Can't buy me love, everybody tells me so Can't buy me love, no no no, no
Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love
No worries, the Democrats will make us all happy.
Ask anybody if they are happier having the things they want or happier not being able to afford them.
Being rich and free is ALWAYS better than than being poor and oppressed. There is NOTHING to debate here.

SUCCESS is getting the things that you want.
HAPPINESS is appreciating what you have.
So,
...have no Fear,
...for you are all very dearly LOVED
...by the LOVE Itself
...and by that same LOVE
...that's carried in the
...Hearts of those around you who
...really do care for you =
THE ANSWER.

Try that question in North Korea and see what you get. Debate, is seldom free, or open anywhere.
"I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel alright 'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love"
Amazing how rich the Beatles got off of songs like this ...
Then again, they did do the "Taxman" song a few years later.
Can't buy me love...
to buy sh#t we don't need....
Happiness is within, not without.
True,its always better to be rich than poor.
Yet I have known quite a few rich people and for them its never enough.They are continually buying more toys yet they are never satisfied.
Meanwhile,their kids rarely see them anymore and they are subject to high blood pressure and heart attacks since they never exercise or eat right.
I like being COMFORTABLE.Rich?Great if it happens but I don't strive for it.
Great looking TV set.
Now if there were ONLY some quality programs to watch on it!
You dispute this? And for evidence you cite one of the world’s most moronic philosophers (assuming these are Lennon’s words)? Maybe possessions don’t bring happiness, but honestly acquired big bank accounts and the freedom they give one to say “take this job and shove it” certainly do.
NFL Network!
Capitalism, it notes, is adept at turning luxuries into necessities—bringing to the masses what the elites have always enjoyed.

This is done despite the growing so called-'inequality'. :)
Inequality, the lovechild of the left is useless and its increase parallels increasing propserity, IMO.
What a wonderful post.
Thank you, dear Ronnie.
She just doesn't measure it often enough to suit me.

Happiness is a state of mind. Anyone can have it if they choose to.
