My only concern is the poor have access to decent health care and food, they basically get both now. At this point, maybe healthy poor people need to work harder... or work period.

most do work,but I think it's all about background and education. Those top %1 were probably well off,since they were born. They probably came from rich families are they took over the business that was in there family for generations. I would go so far as to say that the poor probably work harder just to survive,then the rich work to stay rich. for example,in America there's only a handful of companies that own most of the market in anything,such as food,banking,etc,etc.

False. Most people on the Forbes 500 are self made.

The top 1% is 3,110,000 people the Forbes 500 are 500 CEO's.

Most rich people are self made, even in the 1%. If there were sealed layers, then I would see this as a huge problem, but if most people who lie in the top 20% were in other layers not too many years ago, then I think the system works. If you reward those that prepare themselves and try to improve you will create a much more dynamic society. If you reward those that are lazy and punish those that create wealth, then you will destroy the economy.
