Well, congrats Sam, you done good.

But you are now enjoying the fruits of your achievement and I don’t see you longing for the old days.

So, I don’t get being jealous of rich folks, I’d be rich if I could just .... win the lottery or something.

We could argue ‘special treatment’ all day. It happens.

Didn't mean to imply I was jealous of rich folks. In fact, I'm in a position where many are jealous of me. However, I do believe in fair play and there should not be special rules for those who are rich.

For example, if I am ever caught in a DUI, I would expect to be treated just like any other schmuck caught in such a situation. I would expect to spend the night in jail, show up in court the next morning with bad hair and a hangover, and pay the piper accordingly. It makes me angry to see a certain class of people who find themselves in these situations (i.e. celebrities, politicians) treated more favorably.
