in some instances it does equal being born into the correct family and/or class.
and I don't call investing and making $ off people the way Enron did [as well as other corporations] "hard work".
nor do I call cheating the system by using the system to store one's wealth off shore hard work.
then there is that whole issue of derivatives.......
for some reason those with wealth think they did it on their own and w/o the help of anyone else much less the government rules that favor them. for some reason they think that helping others is taking something away from them. for some reason they do think they did work harder than the other person....and in some cases maybe they did. but in many cases they did not.
if in 2013 we can't find it in our hearts and in our wallets to support our society for the betterment of all then I fear we may one day go the way of the French Revolution which saw a lot of wealthy heads roll.
I wish PS had a "like" function. LIKE, LIKE!!! My husband references the French Revolution almost once a week. If people think I'm a raving socialist, you should see him on a rant, lol.
