I ask this because I see people in my very poor neighborhood that drive around in their Mercedes Benzs with 22" wheels and mouth full of gold and it kinda seems like money isn't exactly the problem. it seems more like it's a subculture that has embraced a set of values that don't lead to living truly successful lives... unless you count dying young or going to prison as success.
I'm sure that those people driving around in Mercedes Benzs with mouthfuls of gold are not well educated executives.
Not all successful people are. My point was that getting money didn't seem to be an insurmountable problem, yet we still see numbers for homicide and imprisonment completely out of proportion in some demographics.
