I am not among the super rich, but I dont resent their success. To me it can be a win win situation for all. Without the superrich where is the capital to come from to build our businesses? Or are you a Socialist? Russia proved beyond a doubt that Socialism WILL NOT WORK. China even is converting to a modified capitalism. The important thing for the govt is to treat all people fairly. What makes USA unique is that almost anyone with enough gumption and a little luck can rise as far as their Star takes them. Look at Arnold in Calif. He is the latest example of what is possible. I myself started with nothing and on top of that had nearly everything taken away from me in a Divorce at age 34 YET through hard work, determination and the willingness to forego immediate luxury was able to retire at age 47 (13 years ago) and have been living happily ever since. jdn
