It's generally the losers of the world who expect the rich to apologize for their hard work and success. The only people who think it's not "cool" to be rich are the ones who will never be rich due to their laziness.

Pretty pathetic if you think that is true. A sad reflection on where your values are.

How about a *good* teacher, one who goes into teaching for the sheer joy of working with kids? (yea, there are only a few of them, but there are some).

How about someone who works within a church and want to spread the word? Are they poor because they are lazy?

How about a doctor who works for low or no pay in a poor country/clinic just so that s/he can make a difference?

How about a mother who chooses to stay home and raise the kids and the parents live on one salary instead of two because they know that money really isn't the most important thing in the world? Is she lazy?

How about a farmer that works 80 hours a week on the farm and can provide for his or her familiy but will never own a condo on Malibu beach...is he lazy?
