Boortz likes to rant about "wealth envy" and often implies it is a dominant theme that shapes all matters of a person's politics and worldview. For example, those advocating pro-environmental policies are supposedly motivated not by concern for the air, water, or our planet, but instead by "wealth envy". I happen to believe that most people accept their position in the socioeconomic pecking order and realize that their financial standing is due in large part to raw intelligence, the investment they have made or not made in education, their interpersonal and networking skills, and the choices they have made in the so-called "work-life balance" equation. My wife and I are probably in the upper 2 to 3% of the income distribution; I rarely if ever spend time "envying" the top 1 percentile, but frankly I sometimes am slightly envious of those who made a conscious decision to forego the "corporate fast track" in favor of a more fulfilling family life and more time for leisurely pursuits.
