Does it or doesn't it?

Can Money Buy Happiness?

"Money doesn’t buy happiness, but success does. Capitalism, moored in values of hard work, honesty, and fairness, is key."
Uh-huh. Of course, nothing but Capitalism is rooted in hard work, honesty and fairness, right? I mean, look at those wonderful Capitalists from Enron, or look at Conrad Black, or at so many other honest, fair, hardworking Capitalists (many of whom have successfully finished their jail time). Not such a nice image to paint...

Money may not buy happiness, but it certainly makes misery a lot more bearable.

And a lot of us would like to try making misery more bearable, I'm certain! :-)

I'd be willing to take some of the pressure off of, say, Bill Gates. Financially, that is.
