[QUOTE=Americano; "IMO only the ones who inherit adequate personal wealth and those who completely distrust what has evolved into an entirely self-serving government and plan accordingly will make the cut".

"A few months ago I read analysis on the financial status of the baby boomer retirees. The bulk do not have the means to fund their own retirements and their opportunities to accumulate capital were during the very best period of US prosperity. What lies ahead will require enormous sacrifice for them, their children and a defined change in the system of US government".

Yes, "Generally" speaking it would seem the only way to sustaining great wealth these days "WOULD" be to inherit it or develop a successful firm and profit from the efforts of its employes until the pendulum as it will swings in a different direction, or be blessed/Cursed as a member of the "in" group of influence peddlers with government connections.
