You have no constitutional right to be rich, but you have the opportunity.

That is true no matter where one lives.

What is it that makes the United States of America special?

Go try to become rich in Zimbabwe, the Congo, Liberia or Burundi.

The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Osama Bin Laden's father was poor, blind in one eye, illiterate and an immigrant to Saudi Arabia and managed to get rich in a country that isn't known for its opportunities.

BTW, I haven't become rich in the US.

I haven't either, but I've become very comfortable.

I was born into a dirt poor family. I started working in construction, during the summers at the age of 13. At 13 I was forming and pouring concrete. I finished high school and continued to work. I never went to college.

I spent less than I made and saved my money. I eventually invested that money into my first business. I invested the money I made in that business into other businesses.

5 years ago I sold my last business. I took 6 months off because I'd never had a real vacation. I didn't collect unemployment because I didn't need it or want it.

After 6 months I went to work for one of the 50 largest commercial contractors in the US and I'm still there. I'm 51 and could retire today if I wanted, but I'd rather work.

No one ever gave me anything and I never asked for anything, except an opportunity to work.

If anyone is not making it in this country, they have no one to blame but themselves.

When I was 13 just about the only work available to city girls was babysitting at 35 cents an hour.
