To Junior baloon ********OFF TOPIC************ I don't understand what you are saying. I believe you are saying that it is unfair that A makes 10 times as B since they both work equally as hard, right? OK, if that is the case, then let us assume that A is Bill Gates who makes 10 times as much as B because his work is more highly valued than B's because Bill employs, feeds, sustains 30,000 people. Let us assume also that A ( Bill ) works equally hard as B from a physical viewpoint, hours, days, etc. OK, then what you are saying is that obviously the only reason A ( Bill Gates ) makes more than B is because Bill is smarter and he developed Windows. So, are you then saying that that is unfair for A ( Bill ) and that now Bill should pay even more taxes, because nature has been more fair to A ( made him more intelligent ) than B? Are you saying that A should pay for the unfairness of nature that made him smarter more productive than B is what I am asking? TA
