You guys crack me up.
First? 'WEALTH' is NOT a finite number. It can be created AND destroyed.
ME being rich says little or nothing about the ability of YOU to accumulate wealth.
Government does not create wealth. They produce nothing for sale or which turns a profit. Except for those industries and groups which utilize the petition the government provisions to get the playing field tilted in favor of themselves. They TRANSFER wealth and in so doing, determoine winners and losers.
Military Industrial is a perfect example. I was just doing some reading about the A-10 Warthog. The PERFECT machine for its task. And the upper brass tried a bunch of times to GET RID OF IT. Latest was to use the F-35 in its stead.......The final straw? F35 costs ABOUT 50% More per hour than the A10. Call it less than 20k$ to greater than 30k$ PER HOUR.
Whose side ARE they on?
So? The biggest possible beef and a GOOD ONE is the ratio of Executive to Line Worker salaries.
In many countries it is a far lower ratio than Here in the US......But if you REALLY want to see an insult, look at what BOARD MEMBERS are paid and the benefits. I'm not going to elaborate, but between Medical and a car allowance AND a 'bonus' situation? They ain't hurting and DO make much more than even highly compensated executies.....
Too much is never enough
