Pshaw!
Once again you prove that you are "literally" unable to comprehend the English language.
When did I ever say that success is measured by money?
I said "You'll never be able to make that kind of money, because you will never be nearly that good at something"
And I stand by that.
being "good" does not always equate to wealth...no matter how much goodness you may possess
Nor does "wealth" necessarily mean money.
you feel those who are rich are that way because they are better.
No. I do feel that they probably worked harder (unless they got really lucky)
because you feel the rich are better, you feel they should not have to share, or paying their portion of taxes is "stealing." everyone else should just be better like the rich.
If by "be like the rich" you mean working the hours most of them do, or Dealing with the stress of investments that may or may not pan out. The constant doubt over weather anybody you know loves you, or just your money... I am not interested, I know money does not by happiness, nor do material possessions.
I don't envy a persons money, in anyway. That is the problem with you. In your sick narcissistic mind you cannot bring your self to understand why someone who "swings a bat" all day should get paid that much more than you. After all, Your enlightened, you do whats important, "teaching the poor." And because your so much more important, and your not making that kind of money, you abhor him to have any money either. Its not his you say, its "ours."
Envy is among the sickest of human emotions. You should seek help soon. (and please stay away from children)
If by "paying there fair share" you mean they pay the same percentage of their income as everyone does. Then they should pay there taxes. But not your progressive tax BS
The constitution guarantees equal protection of the rights to all citizens, Demanding that one person, (who has likely already paid several peoples annual income on his own free will) To give up more than %50 of his income to supplement another, who has just sat around. Is not equal protection under the law, And if cant understand that, move to Russia, were they think more like you.
