communism isn't working, so is democracy.
But... I do think democracy is by far the best form of government.

While I agree that people tend to think they deserve more than others for what they do and/or born into. But I don't see the reason to amass so much wealth and unable to spend it all.

Note that I used "spend" and not "waste".

Let's see, CEO making 30M/yr and you making 30k/yr. That's 1000x difference. Regardless what how much more work one do, I don't believe a person should make that much more than a regular worker.

Perhaps, the way I see it is that there should be 3 levels. Rich, Middle class, and poor.
But what we have is, Mega-rich, super rich, rich, poor, very poor, dirt-poor.

If you work hard, you deserve to become rich (eventually). You have no worry with money matter.
If you work a little, play a little. Leading a steady normal life. You're middle class.
If you're "unfortunate" and/or lazy, you lead a poor life.
So, this way, everyone has food to eat and a bed to sleep in.

There's a lot that I don't understand of course. I am just living in my own little well.

Another I see is that, the gap between the rich and middle class seems to grow wider.
