First, a lot of wealthy people have gotten their money by inheritance. I know, I know, they deserve to keep it. I just want to interject the thought that not all rich people are "hard working" or contribute more to our society than some poor guy on the street.  You could say they "got lucky".  I have a friend who met a girl who has rich parents. He hardly ever worked. I went to college, got my Masters and I'm living in a $1200 a month apartment and he's living on the beach in Malibu.  I'm not trying to start this "class warfare" stuff but realize that some people are just "lucky".  Maybe there should be something in the "system" that tries to equalize this.  We are all in this boat together.
