It is government services that allows those high earnings.

This is one of the most utterly stupid remarks I've ever seen.

In my life I've known a good number of people one would consider "wealthy" -- perhaps with 20 or 50 Million in the bank. With one exception, maybe two, that wealth has come with ZERO help from the government.


Since you've known these rich assholes.......I mean, people how many revolutions has the country experienced, how many civil wars, how many times has the economic system gone into total collapse, how many times has the president been assassinated, how many times was an administration forced to change due to a military coup.....etc.?

Did it ever occur to you or your rich friends that there is a reasonably priced premium in place for living in such a remarkably stable country as this one is?
