a scene from Futurama, Leela and Fry are outside in a crowed

Leela asks: “Why are you cheering, Fry? You’re not rich!”

Fry replies: “True, but someday I might be rich. And then people like me better watch their step.”

    There’s a line from “1776” (last, great old fashioned musical) that goes like this:

    “Don’t forget that most men with nothing would rather protect the possibility of being rich than face the reality of being poor”
