Let me add a question for you.

I am still waiting for an answer for my question. I was first.

Do you think that choice should be made by the government?

Where there is justice and kindness there is no need for laws and government.

Maybe on Fantasy Island, where it seems you wish to live.

"I am still waiting for an answer for my question. I was first."

Fine, I'll give you an answer. Should I feel guilty about living a lifestyle that I earned as a business owner? If I recall the question correctly, well my answer would be no. Where were the employees when I started the business and worked for little to no pay while getting it off the ground? Where were the employees when I was working 16 hour days 7 days a week? No, I wouldn't feel guilty for creating a successful business that sustained jobs for other people. Jobs that they find acceptable at the agreed upon compensation.

Only those that are envious of my position would expect me to feel guilty for being in that postition. Of course, that scenario is imagined as I am but a lowly employee of an employer that can enjoy the lifestyle you describe. I don't mind tho', because if I felt I was being treated unfairly, I would find another employer or start my own business.

If their is a general expectation that successful entrepaneours feel guilty for their success, do you think we will have many people willing to take those risks? Where will those jobs come from?

Do you honestly believe that government controlled markets are more successfull than free markets? If so, please provide proof of your claim.
