In a perfect world this would be the case, but that is something we are far, far from.
Generally speaking, I think that wealthy people are responsible. The ones who show the wealth make up the tip of the iceberg and subsequently set the tone for that entire level of society. Its just an extension of stereotyping.
I have no dreams or goals of being filthy rich, it would make me feel distant from the rest of the world. If I want to set myself apart from everyone else, I would rather it be through something I am exceptional at rather than how many Benjamin's I have in my wallet.
I suppose making money could be viewed as something you could excel at, but I would rather be a professional racer (No, NASCAR/NASCAR truck series don't count, Formula 1 is another story.) than a multi millionaire any day.
Believe it or not, there actually are somethings money CAN'T buy, love isn't the only thing.
P.S. While we're on the money thing, I want to visit Sydney and the rest of Australia
