>How is your current analogy related to your original post that Gates was "lucky"? Another example of where people could get ahead on luck. And I didn't say that Gates was lucky, I simply said that there's nothing that he did that would make him "deserve" to be thousands of times richer than the average Joe. I'm not saying he can't be rich, but that if the average middle-class person is not seeing his lifestyle improve at all, and the average "super-rich" person is, then something needs to be corrected. >Everyone does benefit from prosperity. It's call "taxes". Not when the tax rate is "flat" or effectively regressive. >Maybe you're taking an exception and seeing it as the trend? Not at all. -Z
