>How about we post it all, including the part you left out?

Sure. I only left it out for comparison's sake. I agree with every word he said.

>Yep, being smart and working harder than everybody else doesn't mean shit.

He isn't saying that. It's just that there are other factors that go into it... for instance, Jeff Bezos and Michael Dell are smart and worked hard, but is there any way their business models work without the highway system and/or the USPS?

And lots of teachers are smart and work their asses off for a tiny fraction of what they make while performing a really necessary function of our society. No one's saying they should make billions, but shouldn't we as a society make sure they're taken care of?
