Here's a thought for all you wealth re-distributors out there:
Maybe the top X percent make more because they actually provide more value??
Let me say it a different way, maybe in fact they are not equal and trying to equalize it is not a good thing.
Okay, one more try at saying it differently: Get out of my wallet and get off your ass.
Going to Sway's question:
My personal income more than doubled between 2000 and 2008. I retired from the Navy, studied my ass off and entered a new career field, took some bumps along the way (got fired once, laid off a couple times) but through hard work, long hours, lots of study and taking some risks I made it to the top two percent and I'm proud enough of that to want to hold onto to it.
To Sck and Rick
You want some of that, do some of that.
