Yes, the rich get richer while the poorer stay poor, or improve less. Do you know why this is?It's because the rich are smarter and more focused on the right things. They make sacrifices to get what they want. The poor? Not so much. A PERFECT example of this is our very own Green Bay Packers. You have no idea how many times I heard "The rich got richer" with every single draft pick we made. We stayed focused on the right things (Drafting well,) we're good at what we do (Developing talent,) and we're willing to make the necessary sacrifices (Not trading away our draft for free agents and instead develop our talent) to stay on top. Moving on from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers is a perfect example of making a sacrifice to move ahead. So yes, the rich do have a tendency to get richer. Rather than whine about how unfair it is, try asking yourself how you could improve your station in life so that you too can get richer, rather than stay poor.Edit- I should state I am speaking in generalities. Specific instances where one guy wants it all and wants to shut everyone else down is just being greedy, but in general, the rich get richer because they make smarter decisions than the poor.</blockquote>
