Fascinating talk.

What about piece of mind, though? And what about enjoying the simple things in life like swimming in a public pool and watching kids having fun, or taking a peaceful walk in the woods and watching birds fly by?

It sure does sound nice to be very wealthy but more money, more worries. God bless those people though for creating jobs for us plain folk.

That's fine. Then you simply don't get some of the stuff that it takes working 80 hours a week or more to get. How much "quality" time do you think Obama has spent with his girls since he started his political career? I'm sure they know daddy loves them and I'm sure he does, but come on, let's not delude ourselves.

Wow... fantastic conclusion. And I love the empirical focus of the presentation--it's nice to just get the facts without a whole lot of editorializing (which I imagine must a strong temptation for anyone researching this particular topic).
