I know, it drives me crazy. Common sense....
The difference between rich and poor has grown, BUT the level of wealth of the poor is growing. They somehow think it would be better if the difference between rich and poor stayed the same, and the level of wealth of the poor hadn't grown at all, LOL.
In a free society, people use their talents to create amazing things and get rich. Those people hire people, create wealth etc etc. The free market doesn't let someone get ONE PENNY richer than they should. People act as though the rich are deciding how much to make, lol. If a hedge fund manager make 30mm a year, thats what the market decided his skills and value were worth.
P.S. The did an interview with a line of people outside waiting to get their gov. checks.....this is the "poor" in the us. EVERY one of them had a cell phone, an apartment, ate 3 meals that day, Had cable/Satellite. Our "poor" live better than kings and queens did 200 years ago. And considering most of it comes from this bloated entitlement state, I don't really get why they are yelling at the people who are making this happen for them. People LOOSE money when they take a job because they loose their benefits.....
In Denmark (I might have that wrong, but it was an EU country) They gave people unemployment for 5 YEARS after loosing a job. Amazingly, people seems to find a new job at exactly 5 yrs. When they cut it to 3....take a guess when people found a new job....37 months, lol.
