consider this equation from my physics 11 course back in high school.
we have an equation: p = w/t with given variables p: power, w: work and t: time
it states that power is equal to the total work done during a certain amount of time. simple enough right? Continuing on...
remembering these two adages from my childhood "time is money" (t=m) and "knowledge is power"(k = p), and assuming they hold true, then the following substitutions can be made to the initial equation.
p = w/t --> k = w / m to get....
knowledge = work / money
thus we are left with
i) an inverse relation between knowledge and money.
ii) knowledge and work being directly proportional.
summary of results
as knowledge approaches infinity either:
1) work approaches infinity
and / or
2) money approaches zero
as knowledge approaches zero either:
1) work approaches zero
and / or
2) money approaches infinity
in conclusion:
for the most part,
i) knowledgable people work more and make less money
ii) less knowledgable people work less and make more money
final adage for the day
"rich people are stupid and lazy"

Your assumptions were stupid.
Also, why should you care if someone else has more money than you? You're probably one of those ivory tower pseudo-intellectuals who think because they have an above average IQ they should automatically be rich and get BJs all the time.
Then again taking this as an example of your intelligence, you're probably some kid in high school who stole a copy of The Communist Manifesto.

If you type "55378008" into your calculator and then turn it upside down, it says "boobless." That's funny. This post wasn't so much.
