I wish I had as much after tax money as bill gates. If you put , for example, a Playstation 2 on the market for 1000$, some people will buy. If you had put it on more $500, more people would buy it. If you put it on for $200, a whole shit load of people would buy it. This is supply vs. demand and it holds true for people's time as well. If the reward for being successful is greater than more people will be successful. Don't you think its a little bit fucked up that you earn $400,000 and keep $200,000 (80% of that 200,000 goes to social programs by the way). I'm sure thats enough to discourage some people.
