Dear Dave99,
1. I agree with you that how can/do we talk about the "rich" without the "poors";- after all, they are actually 2 different sides on the same coin.
2. However, some times in life we have to make a choice and decide for ourselves: "where would I rather be in my own life?:- to be rich or to be poor?"
3. To each his/her own and may he/she be happy and contented with his/her own life decision and able to be responsible enough to live out one's life decision and bear the full consequences of the decision whatsoever the outcome of the life decision may be.
4. Now, each game has its basic game rule.
5. The basic game rule in Capitalism is to make as much money as one can, and not one which is right or wrong, fair or unfair, as AlexLee will probably tell you.
6. In Socialism, we speak about the social equality and its inequalities, fairness vs unfairness while in both religions and ethics, we talk about
"right" and "wrong" to do/not to do certain things.
7. So, I am wondering what is the actual "game" which we are talking here? or rather which Timmy is actually referring to, in this property investing forum, in the first place?
8. Thank you.
Cheers,
Kenneth KOH
