While money will not make you happy, the disparity of wealth can drive people to misery. Long ago, a man had a choice. He could rise early, work hard and bring home to his family or do nothing and starve. Today that is not the case. Now not only do both men and women work outside of the home, frequently they barely support themselves. This is especially true in communities which are economically depressed. The economic depression is mainly due to mismanagement by the government or the reality that businesses are limited by the people in charge. It is in the best interest of companies like Walmart to hire as few people as possible, pay them as little as possible and to buy their products from suppliers who make the products with the cheapest labour available. Not all people have the drive to attain the top.
