Wealth is usually created with a lot of hard work, knowledge, ambition, etc.
The union leader I used to work for insisted that successful businessmen were just “lucky” and made money on the backs of labor. Some people are just happy to work for someone else. They don’t want to put the effort into acquiring more skills for better jobs or work long hours to start their own business. There is nothing wrong with that, society needs all kinds of people; but they don’t have a right to call the system “unjust and unfair”.
If the gov’t makes it too difficult for people to own or expand a business, That’s unfair to the people that just want to have a job.
Yep.
I make enough money. Not much, but enough to eat well and buy a new guitar or bass every few years. 18 year old car, 10 year old Harley, but a wife I love, good health, no debts and very little stress in a “dead end” job. I’ve friends who make 5-10X what I do and they are no where nearly as happy, new beemer, 1.5mil house or no. My best friend from college makes 500K a year, but if one of his co worker made 550 he feels he’s “lost”.....
