The queen is just a symbol, kinda like the statue of liberty. Anyway I don't really have a problem with successful people becoming extremely rich, because the more money a rich man earns, the more jobs he will typically create. And studies have shown that the government is fairly inefficient at job creation, as politicians face too much pressure from voters to not shut down factories that become unprofitable over time, which ends up hurting the economy. I'm more concerned with the income gap between the middle class and the poor, because I see no economical justification for a huge gap between these groups. |
Well, one reason, is why work for a dollar or two an hour?
If you can not work, and make equivalent to $6 an hour, why work for $8?
Right now, in this country, if you are poor, you can go to college for free. If the poor were mostly college graduates, who did everything they could to get ahead in life, but still only make $8-$10 an hour, then I would agree with you.
They aren't. Aside from handicapped people, the poor are poor because they have done very little to make them anything else.
