yep...its a system where 1% of the population *earns* more money than the other 99% combined.
the brutal irony is that typically speaking, those who do the necessary, important, real hard work typically *earn* the least amount of money, whilst those who *earn* the most money tend to do the least actual work.
gotta love it.
Those who earn the most typically have earned the right to earn the most.
Look at it this way, you invent a widget, you take out a personal loan in order to produce your widget, you take a risk that is yours and yours alone, you open a factory to produce and sell your widgets. You have guys on the factory line who put the widgets you created together in mass amounts, they pack your widgets and ship your widgets out. Without your idea there is no widget, without your idea there is no job for these factory workers at your widget factory, without your idea and willingness to take a risk there is no widget, no factory, no jobs.
In that story about your widget factory, who does the largest lump of money belong to? You, the creator and inventor of the widget, the one who invested in the widget company at his risk, the head of the widget company, the person who gave jobs to all the widget employees who would be unemployed if it weren't for you, or does that money belong to the guy who loads widget boxes on to the back of a truck all day who has taken no risk nor come up with an idea that is his own...who does the money belong to?
Can you honestly say it doesn't belong to you, the widget owner and risk taker? If you can say that, please give me some good reasons.
