Video: Born Rich - A world apart
Those who agreed to be interviewed in the video have a facsimile of a conscience (I'm guessing) and have thought about and care, to some degree, about how the rest of the world lives; they're probably in a minority of the fabulously rich.
But what about the parents of these people - perhaps divorced from the reality which 99% of the population experiences? They pretty much run the world.
Wouldn't an interview from errant Rothschild offspring be instructive?
I don't begrudge people their wealth, except where their wealth buys influence in a corrupt political world, entranced by the power that [greater] wealth brings them.
There's something horribly wrong with a world which allows the rich to grow richer, via nepotism and corruption, while the poor grow poorer - too often paying for the indulgences of the rich.
That's what I object to.
