Would it bug you if the Joneses kept up with you?

We are told that the haves don't want the havenots to have more because then the haves wouldn't feel as rich. Do you think so?

Would you work to reach a comfortable standard of living where every need is met or do you need more? Do you need more because YOU want it or because the guy next to you has more?

If you had all you wanted, would you really mind if everybody had it too or do you think society needs poorer people so that those who have money or lots of money can feel better with themselves?

Because you must admit, there is enough around to share so that we can have everybodies needs amply covered AND have really rich people too.

    If they tried to keep up with me they would be miserable. Everyone should have the basics and the world would be a better place and people should be happier with themselves then they wouldnl't need so much.
