It *is* funny that you ever believed that! :smile:
..........but you see -- "Class" REALLY has to do more with character and integrity than it does JUST money. The really "old" money in this country has evolved over time into people who have learned over successive generations how fortunate they truly are to have made their wealth in a nation like ours. They were the proud Americans who helped build the nation that built them. The Rockefellers, the Kennedy's, even the Carnegies (and there were a lot fewer of those robber barons than there are today) gave BACK -- proudly because they wanted their names to be remembered among the great American families. The founding Fathers SPENT fortunes helping to make the country what it is. I believe Warren Buffet & Bill Gates have similar outlooks, but we may have to see what their children do with all that money they will inherit. Sam Walton had class. I fully believe that if he were alive today he'd line up all of his TOP managers and have them fired (first maybe flayed -- then fired). I can hear him say, "What in the hell have you done to my company? What is all this Chinese shit doing in my stores? 37% profit wasn't ENOUGH for you? You may have built this into the biggest retail company in the world -- but you've done it with little integrity and you've actually HURT this nation all for the Almighty Dollar! Now give these workers a raise and get this crap off of my shelves -- this has been, is now and always will be an AMERICAN company!"
Any Walton's out there with big dicks listening??? Grandpa would NOT be pleased!!
The Koch brothers?? In 20 years their name will only be remembered for the great harm they've caused to a "system" that used to give hope to the average man. I know Janitors who have more "class" than these 2! I imagine their remains will lie in a "gated" cemetery!
Real class never says, "Do you KNOW who I AM?" Real Class is when the average person speaks your name reverently because they KNOW not only WHO you are, but also WHAT you are!! Mother Theresa was a classy lady (not American sadly) Dr. Jonas Salk was a classy American!
