I know when my grandmother died she was one of the largest land owners in Glynn County, Georgia....

But then we also found out she didn't pay property taxes from 1991 to her passing in 2004...

Yeah. Most people who are doctors, lawyers, CEOs, actors, athletes, company owners, etc all were lazy, illegal, and inherited everything. Man, this is an ignorant statement. Most people who have it the best earned it by working for it. There is a population of them who did it the inherited or lazy or illegal way, but not even close to most.

I took the implication of the statement based on context to mean the filthy rich, not just the comfortable. When taken that much broader yes, you're correct.
