Do you think the super-rich's income is anywhere
near what they contribute to society or how hard they work? If anything you are making a case for weath redistribution by talking about entitlement.

Remember someone in that wealthy family earned a shitload of money through old fashioned American virtues like hard work, discipline, and innovation. Oh that's right, we don't want to do that shit anymore, let's just tax the people who actually earned the money the hard way.

Are you on drugs? I'm serious, how do you see a person who goes to a poor inner-city high school as having the same opprotunity as a person who goes to an elite prep school? Look at some studies, the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor.
You keep making the case for weath redistribution by bringing phrases like "hard work" into the discussion, something the super-rich know nothing of.

I agree everyone in society everyone should pull their own weight which for me means weath distribution to make the weight pulling equal.
Real life isn't a Horatio Alger story and it saddens me to think that some people believe that it is.
