[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4234923, member: 24302"] So it's someone's fault they are born rich? Look at Fred S. Born into a wealthy family. Did he just cruise through life? No, he took risks, created a company that has provided employment for over a million people and provided a needed service for countless millions. And he's much wealthier than he would have been otherwise. Yet he's excoriated by many of his own employees because they think he owes them a great living. He's not perfect, can even call him greedy. But his drive has allowed many to put food on the table. Your way of thinking won't do that in an era where we need big companies to employ a lot of people because we have a large population. There are many blue collar jobs that go begging because people don't want to get their hands dirty. So the position they find themselves in is at best they only want to do their little job and go home. That's fine if that's all they want, but the spoils go to those who take risks, work long hours, get an idea up and running, and ultimately provide those little jobs that people are content to only do. Don't knock those who make it possible for us to make a living unless they are abusive. Otherwise it's their drive, their vision that makes it possible for the rest of us to survive. [/QUOTE]
