“Rich” is relative
October 13th, 2006
I’m not talking about your rich Uncle Thadius.
I’m talking about how the richest king in the Middle Ages was poorer than almost any contemporary American.
I would never give up the advanced health care, cialis canada medical plane travel, viagra canada cialis automobiles, cialis movies, TIVO, and Macintosh computer, that come with my modern middle-class existence for the life of the world’s richest man ‚Äì Andrew Carnegie ‚Äì of 150 years ago.

You are right. Even the “poor” in United States have more amenities than a “rich” person in a Third World country.
