Sorry Gozer, but you are completely wrong here.

Most of the people making millions have worked their ass off to get where they are. Just because there are 10 companies who pay their employees like garbage while paying the CEO more than he should get(in your view at least), doesn't mean there aren't thousands more who pay their employees very well.

At the end of the day, you still want people to actually be motivated by something. Financial security is something worth working for, and probably something a lot of people dream about having. Taxing them at 99% of their income when they get there because you have some kind of wrecked notion of how the world works is a pretty stupid idea.

Bill Gates is worth billions. And he has spent billions on helping the poor, sick and those that need it. He has helped more than any government ever could. And he isn't the only one.

What we need is fair wages and opportunity. Something akin to what Walmart is doing here. Seems like most people posting in this thread appreciate it. Now we need to as a 1st world nation, keep pushing for more of that.
