>This is non sense, the life for the rich is far better than for the poor.

But is it far better than the life of the upper middle class?

People have lots of problems in life. Money solves a minority of them.

[corporateslave2]

Money solves almost all of them. It's Marxist propaganda trying to convince you otherwise.

What about health problems? Stress? Happiness? Money can only go so far to alleviate problems in these and other areas. When it comes to the biggest problems people have, I would agree that most cannot be solved with money.

I can play the same game.

>Money solves almost all of them.

Capitalist propaganda.

If it did, I wouldn't find rich people who have more problems than I do. Definitely would not swap places with some of them.

Sure: If you take the same two people with the same intelligence, skills, and problems, having more money likely helps. But that's not the reality.

Given any random two people - one in the upper middle class and one very rich - perhaps on average the richer one will be a bit happier. But if you give me any random rich person, it'll be trivial for me to find a happier upper middle class person.

The difference in happiness is not huge, and the variance is high.
