I would also add that their culture is so ingrained, so ancient, that they have a rare form of "generational wealth" most people can't see.

They're not "high ranking people" because of some weird cult, they're high ranking because they're the 19th person in a row that inherited (and had to learn how to manage) the family wealth.

There's nothing wrong with that, except for all the bitchy whiny "pre-millionaires" that think their piece of the pie is being stolen by a rabbi down the street. It's disgusting. How about you learn to manage your own wealth so your great grandkids can own shit too?

Edit: I can see where I sort of made generalizations, and that's not cool, that's my bad. I am referencing the Jewish communities I've encountered that represent high ranking lifestyles. Of course not every Jewish person is rich. I just feel that their culture inspires more generational thinking instead of the typical American "I got mine, you fuck off" mentality.
