Most poor people, infact every single poor person I have ever met and known has made the choices to be poor. They decided to waft through school, they decided to take that cruisy no effort job, they decided to drop out of university, they decided to work a 35 hour week and party hard, they decided to post on GFY all day instead of doing any work, they decided to pick up the bottle. We are the product of our choices first before anything else.
So the rich are lucky? Sure some can come into wealth, but its funny that in most cases the harder they work, the luckier they get ;)

well, maybe we should establish what is rich..recently being 'rich' was defined has having more than 26 million dollars. to some maybe being rich is making 150k a year? I wouldn't call that rich at all really. i don't think its so cut and dry to be 'rich' as you put it. typically someone has to do *something* that everyone else isn't. you can't do great in school, get a good job and suddenly be rich.
