So let me see if I've got this right........Over the last three decades the amount of WEALTH controlled by the top 10% has increased dramatically yet the average WAGE has gone down (less buying power) for the rest of us......Seems fair huh?
What do you define as fair. It seems to call the above unfair you must rely on one particular faulty assumption. The the EFFORT involved in obtaining that wealth. The effort in maing good financial decisions and putting yourself in a better financial place. Your above statement completely ignores that, proving that the left really isn't about equal opportunity. They are about equal outcomes.
What "EFFORT" does a fifth generation MILLIONAIRE put forth to justify his wealth? He was BORN INTO THAT WEALTH!!! It always seems to be the third gen that takes the company their grandfather built to bring it down. Look at Bill Dillard.....The guy is a fricken MORON. He is bringing his Grandfathers co to it's knees. Sad very sad.
Newby......I guess I am an isolationist at heart.....We need to take care of our own back yard first before we worry about the rest of the world.
So, you think that someone who inherits their money rather than earn it themselve should have it taken away because you don't see that as being 'fair'?
I'd be an isolationist as well, but that just does not fit in with reality. That would be cutting the nose off to spite the face. As I said, how would American companies compete on a global market? That is the reality, and you haven't provided a solution.
