Of course being rich doesn't make you FREE, but it does give you certain FREEDOMS to do what you want to do that you aren't able to do otherwise. Like I said before, people should be thinking about making their people a little bit more free than when they come into the world. Complete freedom is not going to happen overnight.
Also, I disagree with the notion that everyone can't become rich; the problem is not necessarily that people don't want to become rich, but moreso that not enough people know HOW to do so (beyond playing loterry tickets).
