To some extent, yes, they experience less friction. But everybody has the power to make a difference.

Consumerism is a dead end, on that we agree. But it's not necessarily started by rich people. On the contrary, poor people tend to embrace the wrong values in their pursuit to become rich.

All I'm saying is that focusing on external attributes, like the perceived wealth of somebody, for instance, is not going to produce results. Focusing on humans, on their education, on their clarity, on compassion, I believe this will create a better place for all.
