The latest Forbes 400 list is out.   An examination shows that this is a fluid group with less than 100 of its original members.  Many in fact are self made folks.  And they did not make their money ‘on the backs of the poor’ as many would have you believe.  I don’t find entire issues of magazine with lists of four hundred rich folks interesting, but this capsulation is quite a slice of what is America, and why everyone wants to come here.
