I don't understand how Obama, in his misspent youth, could be called 
"rich".
I know, due to my job, a few people that are poor and on welfare.
Usually their attitude is that we owe them what they want.

The problem is never how much money someone have, but how much he worked 
to gain it or how much he was teach to respect things and value them. I 
remember an interview with Susanna Agnelli (you know, the people owning 
FIAT); she recall how stern her mother was when, as a child, she used 
cloths one time only (this is probably around the early 1950). All of 
the heirs of the house Agnelli, before becoming managers must enter the 
production like as common workers (in disguise) and work there for a few 
months.

The same could be told about Berlusconi, Bill Gates and many others.

The largest example are the Indians that was throw out of Uganda.
They went from a poor group without nothing (they lost all there) to one 
of the most wealthy in one generation both in UK and in the US.

Your fallacy about rich people doing less than poor workers.
The rich people, if they don't use the government to give themselves 
wealth and power, risk their money, time, lives sometimes, to work for 
themselves. They have the responsibility of themselves and of the 
workers they manage. When they fail, usually they pay their debts and 
move on. They don't call for others to pay for them.

I don't know if you understand the difference.
