Stephen Harper was an economist right... Most economists are very rich, why is he middle class??

Anyone know the "REAL" reason?

"They say that lifes a carousel, spinning fast you got to ride it well. The world is full of Kings and Queens who blind your eyes then steal your dreams- it's heaven and hell. And they will tell you black is really white, the moon is just the sun at night, and when you walk in golden halls you get to keep the gold that falls- its heaven and hell"

-Ronnie James Dio

Most economists are very rich? :)

I think that is the most popular joke in any economics department, most economists are in the Stephen harper Range, your above/average middle class person. It is not as though Stephen Harper was a poor guy or something. His bank account may have been a couple zero's short of Paul Martin's but, PM PM was one of the richest leaders in the western world.

The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. - Ayn Rand

Sad, sad how much the left is brainwashed. Nobody said that economist's were rich .... at least nobody who had any facts to support their claim. :lol:

Ya last time I checked economists are normally not rich unless they are in the top of their field. Much like any other industry.

Put it this way, if I thought I was going to be rich upon graduating with two degrees (one economics), I wouldn't be considering a career with the RCMP (financial crimes and the such of course ;)). Being a cop pays more than some economics jobs, if you can believe that.

Last time I checked most cops weren't incrediably rich.

Believe me, they don't make much. Theres nothing in this Sam, sorry.
