So where in your nuance would you like to decide how much Gates should be paid compared to the janitor? I cure cancer, how much should I be paid? Socialism has one problem, it's called an "Overseer".

Is that wrong? Of course it is, and you know it is, but you love trying to create someone's argument for him... if you didn't, you wouldn't have any reason to post here. Quoting myself: "Does Bill Gates work thousands of times harder than he does?" "Money creates money, and 'luck' creates money. Some people never get that shot, and it's only partially fair, so if we can even the playing field where we can, we should." I never said that there's no difference between Bill Gates and a janitor -- I said that the difference between Bill Gates and a janitor isn't 100,000X. Well said. ted
