Do the wealthy not speak their mind in fear of consequences or do the poor speak their minds because of a "nothing to lose" attitude???

---

I'd say the former...

Successful people know when to stfu and what the consequences could be. They choose and pick their battles appropriately.

I find it challenging to read this list and not be offended. When you have money (wealth) it's easy to have time to work out, read, volunteer, and dream. When you are working from paycheck to paycheck your dream is to provide food on the table for that night. The poor aren't always poor because of bad financial habits, especially with the recent economy issues. I'm disappointed in this list and the negative stigma it places on the "poor" and the arrogance it encourages on the "wealthy".

"poors" tend to speak without thinking about the consequences. I have trashy family members that will forever be poor and live paycheck to paycheck because they continually refuse to think through their decisions and actions.

Haha yeah I thought of Facebook when I read that one. All the critters on there really like to tell you what they think.
