[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5753647, member: 24302"] Look around you. Look at planes, trains, automobiles. Look at the phone in your hand, the computer on your desk, the tv in your living room. Look at every convenience that has made your life easier. They weren't created because some guy fiddled with something out of curiosity. Some guy had an idea, worked at it until he got something that was marketable, sought backing to bring it to market, and when it did well he and his backers made a lot if money. And the rest of us benefited. And sometimes he failed and lost money. Our system is based on risk and reward. You take away reward and people stop risking. It's not evil to make a lot of money. It's only evil to do evil things with the money. America is full of hospitals, universities, museums, parks with the names of wealthy benefactors on them. It is incorrect to believe we must control the rich. Every once in awhile you get a George Soros but most of the wealthy in this country believe in this country because they did well in this system. And they give back. [/QUOTE]
