I 100% agree with you, but more often then not, the weathier people in todays society did not work for their money, they inherited it. For instance I have a friend who works at a private golf course. The bulk of players there are either retired, or youth who drive Audi R8's at 19. The spread between CEO and common worked is growing, quickly. in 1910 the average CEO made 40x as much as an everage employer, not it's more like 800x. Sure companies are getting larger, but this just means fewer and fewer "families" are getting richer and richer. I think corporate taxes, and the taxes of high income individuals (people who generate over 1 million in income annually) needs to be increased. There is no use for this much income, you don't need a multiple Ferrarri's, only to see them depreciate because you don't drive them. However we do need more funding in Education, Roads, Homeless shellters, Mental Health Research Facilities, etc. |
If I weren't dating a girl who's dad is one of those CEO guys then I might agree with you. *might*
But I've seen proper work ethic and a respect for money instilled by very wealthy men into their children, so I would disagree. Some men desire to create an empire for their children, so by hard work they deserve to be able to give that to them.
Those men who's sons drive R8's (damn sexy car) at 19 perhaps, are more often than not, very poor fathers. That does not mean that they didn't deserve the money they have.
How many millionaire's do you know? The one family I've gotten to know that are very, very wealthy certainly deserver it - all of them.
