You like to blab about the poor being less wealthy than the rich.
Yes poor people die younger than the rich and thank you for that observation
that nobody has ever made.
My point is that just because somebody is rich does not make him healthier.
Now you can get back to your point that it is bad being poor and please give
us some more facts about the difference of being poor and being rich. Here
is one, the poor are less educated than the rich. Ok, your turn. By the way
the poor do not have computers and they don't use the Usenet to post. Don't
you feel guilty having a computer while people are starving? You should sell
your computer and give the proceeds to the poor. You are a hypocrite.
