          Not everybody is cut out to start and run their own business. Different people have different skill sets and traditionally they've done best in life by doing what they do best for a living... even if that means working for someone else.

          Until rather recently that system worked quite well for everybody involved including the nation as a whole.

          Now, not so much.

            thats what I see.
            You see a CEO making $10million a year, but you dont see the decades he spent studying and perfecting his skills, staying home all weekend when his friends are going out and partying, him clawing his way up the ladder to make it.

            Noone snaps their fingers and they're born with talent, they have to work to make it happen.
            I see so many poor people that are so fucking lazy, doing nothing but spreading their legs and having more babies, why do I have to work so they get my money?

              Typical stupid retorq: prove that what you say is not exact ( similar to the USA asking Iraq to prove they had no WMD)...

              Why don't you back up your supposed facts ??????

                Sorry, its #2 or #3. I think China and US are either 1 or 2, or one of the other ways around. So they are up there. They also have extreme poverty. Even compared to American Standards. And there is no public assistance like there is in the US.

                  Far from being #1(With the US having 4.5x as many billionaires). China's closing in and looking to surpass Russia sometime this year. The US will also continue to grow at a more rapid rate than anyone else on that list.

                    Oh grow the fuck up. Another asshole patting himself on the back for having a job, imagining millions of people living high on the hog on his dime. It's bullshit, but it makes people feel like heroes just for going to work. And it's a myth spread far & wide by the very richest in society. They WANT you to resent the poor. Don't be such a rube.

                      That's right. And not everybody wants to pursue wealth. What if someone wants to be a teacher? That takes quite a bit of education and patients. And who could argue that that isn't an important job; one that not everyone can do. Are they to BLAME because they didn't set out to get rich by whatever means necessary?

                      What about an EMT? When you're bleeding on the road, would you rather have a hedge fund manager be the first person you see?

                      Neither of those jobs pay much, but both are occupations that contribute more to society than 100 Wall Street douchebags pushing paper and moving money.

                      Our priorities are all fucked up. Our system is geared by the rich for the rich (they're certainly not going to set it up any other way). The good news is we all get to participate in this society to make it fairer, happier and more peaceful. The bad news is far too few people realize it. We don't need to pick up guns to start a revolution. A phone will do.

                        Work hard, make money, be happy. The problem now is that with media, everyone knows what everyone else has. Everyone knows what kin of cars celebs drive, what charity events wealthy people are attending, how mich people are spending. Before the internet no one knew. Now there are jealous people, haters etc... People see more of it an want it and are not content with what they have. Even if it is enough to have a good life.
                        Millions don't have enough to have a good life, and that's because our system is fucked up. The decent paying jobs that once would have sustained them are gone in the name of bigger corporate profits, and our tax laws are extremely complicated so that the richest people in the world can write off their yachts.
