People should be allowed to reap the rewards of ambition and success and we always have to be careful not to discourage people from working hard to get ahead but I simply don't buy the right wing argument that people are being penalized for either. The multi billionaire that invents life like hologram porn is going to have no problem going out and buying a posh mansion, a yacht and a new high end car to drive for every day of the week.

The rewards we get for our hard work and ambition is the success we may or may not find on the other side. If I'm able to get to the top of the ladder in my field I certainly wont expect a gold star from big daddy government for the amount of work I put into it (YAY!!! You won the game of American life enjoy all the 100% completion rewards for your success), the financial security and comfortable living will or should be enough.
