Then it's needs, rather than wants.
There is a long English tradition of describing people who have unmet needs as being in want. I merely follow it.
Sadly, many people spend what they have on wants rather than needs, and it gets them into trouble because they lack the wisdom to prioritize. I see it all the time around me. I live in a lower class neighborhood, and at least 85% of the people I see are outside smoking their cigarettes, driving hot-rodded cars, partying, etc., and yet these are people who are considered to be living in poverty. It's not for lack of money. It's for lack of good decision making.
Sure. I am under no illusion that the poor are perfect. It's just they suffer more directly than the rich the consequences of their imperfections.
You mean the 1%? That's not all that many.
The US has well over a million millionaires, for example. That seems like a lot, to me.
Best wishes, Strivax.
