Bill Gates's income is a hell of lot more than mine. How are you going to fix that income inequality nonsense comrade?

>> and the combined net worth of the poorer 50 percent of American households was $1.6 trillion. Is this fair??? WTF? Whoever said life was "fair"? My dad was orphaned at 12 in 1929 and walked from Dallas to Texarkana before getting a freaking job working for food. He managed to make a good enough living on his 6th grade education to raise 4 kids and retire comfortably. I don't think "fairness" ever entered his mind. And I think it is safe to say he never took a nickel from the damned taxpayers. Get over it. Nobody promised you shit.

SeachRE, > The combined net worth of the 400 wealthiest Americans was $1.5 trillion(Forbes 2007); and the combined net worth of the poorer 50 percent of American households was $1.6 trillion. Is this fair??? Let's take one of those 400 wealthiest Americans ... Steve Jobs. He's a billionaire with an estimated net worth of $8.3 billion. Ask yourself. Is that fair? After all, he only changed the face of computing, came up with the iPhone and the iPad, and has turned Apple into the most successful tech company in the world. I think it's fair. Maybe you don't.
