LaMidRighter said:Is it that rich people's salaries are increasing or is it that they are investing wisely and using their money to make money. The fact is that in capitalism anyone can make it, whether it involves risk, hard work or the like, and to believe that anyone is holding the poor down other than themselves is not a fair or true statement. Long story short, monetary "inequality" will always exist and there is no way to change that which would be fair or just, why should people who are better off be forced to "share" a large percentage of their earnings just to make someone else feel better?
In capitalism a few lucky make it. Paying taxes isn't making someone feel better it's often helping them stay alive.
