I earned every cent I have. And now own my own home and (2) cars. I did through hard work (80 hrs/week)and saving money. My point now is should I be critique on the opportunities I had to acquire these things through hard work? Or should my sons, who I may transfer the wealth my lifes work on to when I pass on? I say no, Barry apparently comes from a family that worked hard at some point, and the end result is he is continuing this tradition. Yes he may have had a leg up on the rest of us, but hey that's life. Maybe my kids will have a leg up on yours through my hard work and their continuation of it.Dalenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-58628400460041092852011-03-04T16:23:24.720-05:002011-03-04T16:23:24.720-05:00that wouldn't have anything to do with landlor...that wouldn't have anything to do with landlords driving up the rent would it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-57188643537644931502011-03-04T16:16:52.265-05:002011-03-04T16:16:52.265-05:00There are quite a few vacancies and underutilized ...There are quite a few vacancies and underutilized spaces downtown.

And all I can say is I never see him just outside relaxing. Everytime I see him he is working on something. Even if he was born into wealth he appears to be putting his fair share in. So before we judge him, state some examples of why he is undeserving of what he has attained. Then what you have done, and should have attain the same but been denied (Bach please don't post LOL!).
