[lbo-talk] Obama got Osama

[Mark Bennett]

I wonder if most people would prefer to be rich?  Speaking solely from my
experience, I suggest that most people would prefer to do what they would
like to do, to that which they enjoy, and makes them feel satisfied and
productive.  Wealth is the easiest road to this goal, so yes, most people
may prefer to be wealthy; but not simply for having the cash, but for having
the options that the cash provides.  As you noted earlier in the thread, the
means are available to provide many, if not most, people with these options,
but because of current social and political arrangements these options
remain the province of tycoons and saints.
