I want a fairer system constructed that prevents the wealthiest from getting wealthier at the expense of the rest of us. Think about your (faulty) assumptions this way. Lets say we are equally wealthy, the same age, and both invest $10k in stocks. Your investment goes up 10% per year for your lifetime, mine does better and goes up 20% per year for my lifetime. After the first year, I'm more wealthy than you since my investment is appreciating faster. Am getting wealthier faster than you "at your expense"? Are you therefore "suffering"?
