It's this collection of stored energy that's materialized into paper and it "determines a person's physical worth and prosperity." It's a fabricated happiness, an illustion of superiority. I often see a distinct relationship between wealth and paranoia (ie millitary oppression). I don't know if having money is worth the stress and degradation of the spirit. Most wealthy people I've met lack the ability to be self-sufficient, from having personal assistants to nannies and housecleaners to personal chefs. So sure, they "create jobs" but because of their own laziness?! I dream of a day where I live in a community that supports each other without this co-dependent motivation.

Never understod the difference of having $10 million or $100 million either. I prefer measurements of ‘happiness’ (http://worlddatabaseofhappiness.eur.nl/statnat/statnat_fp.htm).
