Boo hoo, those bad people make all the money. With the economy becoming more and more global, is it a surprise that there is more wealth to be acquired? Unless you are still believing every dollar Warren Buffet earns pulls a dollar out of the wallet of the poorest American. The issue isn't whether Walmart has expanded to a dozen more countries and made the Waltons richer...it is that a) we continue to produce an ever growing population of people who can't compete for jobs b) that we keep blaming the Waltons et al instead of trying to do something about unemployment being 9% yet every programmer and analyst you interview is here working on a visa.
Now wheel out the "they are all lucky", "Paris Hilton" and the other sour grapes anecdotes to rationalize that the only people with money don't deserve it. And I'll repeat for the hundreth time the percentage of people in the top that didn't start there.
Our leaders should stop *****ing about people making too much money and do something about helping the lower earners make more...the rhetoric is great for political parties and re-elections but it doesn't change anything.
