   Hi Prelovac,

   Read your quote;

   Rich people never have time.

   Poor people have nothing to lose but time.

   Not sure I agree that poor people have time to burn, they are to busy scrambling to provide for the necessities of life, food, shelter and in many developing countries battling disease. In most cases this is a full time occupation.

   Carl mark once wrote: 'When you have provided food and shelter for your family, what price do you put on your creative time?

   Perhaps MasterCard should bring out a new ad for those in developing countries: For food and shelter use MasterCard, your creative time - Priceless. In the full knowledge that only the middle classes in developed nations work 5 days a week and spend their creative time mowing lawns and maintaining suburbia.

   Suggested Reading

   Karl Marx (1818-1888) wrote Grundrisse ("Outlines"; the full title is "Outlines of the Critique of Political Economy") in 1857-1858.

   A bit dated, but thoughtful and still relevant

   Cheers

   Hans

     Great contribution, thanks.

     Perhaps a better explanation of what I meant was that poor people are willing to trade in their time for anything.
