Would you be rich or poor?

I can't imagine ANYBODY choosing "poor", unless they haven't ever been poor and find it romantic!! Ideally, I think everybody should experience being poor at some point. The world would look VERY different if the people in power actually knew what it was like to NOT EAT because you don't have the money. Given that's a ridiculous thought, everybody should work with the poor at some point, to at least get a closer look at it. Volunteerism is a great way to get that message across, and regardless of who is elected, I think the community service initiatives would help alleviate the "stuck up" image of the rich.
