Is "the rich getting richer" a problem?

[Michael-5]

like chapset says "Not if you're rich."

No, seriously, coming from a rich family I think this is a problem. It's not a problem that some people who either worked hard, or had a great buisness plan/idea/invention that got them loaded. The problem is that most rich people give their money to their children when they die, children who most likely have been spoiled, or who haven't earned that income. These people often become really smug, and give off that "I'm better then you" image, but in reality if you own a Bentley at 25, you most likely don't desrve it.

Wealth without Work - is one of the 7 deadly sins according to Gandhi

This is really sad, this is why I'm always super polite to people who work at McDonalds and other chains, and really try to supress any anger I have if there is a long wait. These people work for minimum wage, only to be treated like shit, and you know if Management hired more people, there really wouldn't be a long line.

However, at the oposite end of the spectrum, many lazy poor people hate the rich because they often think they are better then them regardless. As much as I hate smug rich people, I really hate smug lazy people who really need to look in the mirror and see that they aren't so great either.

Either way, wealth without work is a real problem, people shouldn't be allowed to leave children with millions of dollars unless the child is the new company CEO or something, and CEO's shouldn't be allowed to make more then 100x what their average earning employee makes (This is what CEO's made a century ago).
