You forgot this one:

100% of the wealthy are wealthy because there are poor people.


One thing that some fail to realize is that very few wealthy people were poor before they became wealthy.
One of the hardest things to break free from is TRUE poverty.

Hello sanjuro_ronin:

Although you have a valid point, minor nitpick, not my list, just reposting what Corley came up with.

Very truly yours in the MA,
