Yes and no. The needs of the few typically have what they already need economically. I am a product of "the few." My parents reflected that of Sam & Ginger from the film "Casino." Money does NOT buy happiness. Anyone who believes so is just in hope of a quick fix. YOU are the only person who is control of what makes you happy.

Agree other than when it deals with money...cause the many always seem to be rich

Do you mean in the context of the star trek quote?
Sure, its noble for the few to sacrifice to benefit the many. But it would be wrong for the many to coerce the few, justifying based on "greater need". |

I disagree if I'm one of the few. Call me self-centered.
