I actually agree with those words, but they rankle when coming from a billionaire. I felt the same way when Munger's quote about not feeling like a victim was posted here, particularly after someone mentioned that apparently his family connections were able to overturn his denial to enter Harvard.
Maybe we should find some spiritual leaders or other to hear from. At least Oprah might at least have some distant memory of what it was like to be poor I suppose.

She was almost literally dirt poor for her entire childhood, and was basically poor until her late 20s. I think she gets a free pass here.
- hotpotamus 3y agoI mean, she wasn't just poor, she was a poor black woman in America. She certainly seems genuine even with all the money, but I still have a tough time giving her a free pass - she can afford to pay whatever the pass costs.
