Once Ernest Hemingway and Fitzgerald were walking along a sidewalk in Manhattan, and Fitzgerald said, "The rich are different from you and me." And Hemingway replied, "Yes, they have more money."
And there are other differences. In a recent AMA report, it turns out that the rich live longer than the poor. The top 1% lives nearly 15 years longer, on average, than the bottom 1%. This gap has been widening. It might seem a little unfair--that the rich get an extra 15 years of life--but remember that in this country nearly all people are born equal (approximately).
