Never got this Hate the Rich mentality. Heck, I wanna be one of them. I don't wish they were one of me. Dishonest rich people? Sure. Dishonest poor people, hell yeah. Makes no difference. But to be down on those who are successful just never made sense to me.

Heck, I've never made over $40000 a year in my lifetime. That's why I rent, don't own. But one thing I can say is I have no debt. 0. Anything that gets put on my credit card gets paid off the next month in full. I have a few dollars in CD's, and a few dollars in Roth IRA. I don't even know how to think about losing $230,000 per day. Holy Moses!

But I am loving my life. Not getting rich here in Nashville, but keeping my head above water and playing some great music, and a little not so great I must add. So the economy hasn't really done anything to me one way or the other as far as I can tell, and that thrills me to no end. Lol. Sometimes the simple life ain't so bad.

But if I ever do make my fortune, I sure do
n't want everybody complaining about the fact that I'm one of the "rich
". Geez, all that does is smacks of envy. Raise taxes on people who make over 250k? That's rich? Damn. Why should I try to earn 300k per year if i actually get to keep more of my money by earning 249k?
