They know they are privileged and deep down feel ashamed that they are doing so well and so many are not. The very country that helped make them rich, at the same time made many, many others not rich. They know that it is the system favoring them that made it so and if they are not out there trying to CHANGE that system like some outstanding individuals we know, then they are not helping.

In other words, if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem!
