>i have seen beggars in india with one limb and living in a shack with three children boiling pebbles for soup who are happier than millionaires in california.

We've got yachting communities in the US where some of the natives are surviving off of food banks and charity too because of high taxes, and they're still happy compared to the perceived grumpiness of California billionaires.

So i guess it's all relative, extreme inequality can be so unfair.
