    Who ever told you life was fair? Deal, and move on.

    It's not fair, no, but there's also nothing we can do about it. All the protests in the world wouldn't make a billionaire spread his money. If we didn't need to pay so much in taxes and insurance, this wouldn't even be a problem.

    They worked hard for their money and have every right to keep it. This has zero to do with fairness.

    Of course it's fair. We, the wealthiest 1%, have 95% of ideas that improve productivity. And, we supply the venture capital to make these ideas become a reality. Better productivity improves life for the lower 99% as well.

    When earnings of the lower 99% fall in real terms, problems will be likely. Rich people will have to leave the U.S. for countries that tolerate and welcome income inequality.

    Wealth is created, wealth is consumed. If you want more wealth, you have to create more wealth. The question is not really who gets what share, it's more about keeping productivity rising so that people at all income levels have better standards of living.

    do I think that the more wealthy people should pay more taxes...yeah
    If i had that much money i would donate more...but thats their money so you can't make them do things they dont want to with it.

    Would I want their wealth? No thats way to much money what would I do with it all? Money pool like scrooge mcduck in ducktales???

    But I also dont think it should be taken and evenly distributed to everyone in the world...that wouldnt be fair ether.
    life isn't fair *shrugs*
