A lot of people who have money, dont know the vaule of a dollar... rich people should be taxed more, because if they're so damn smart and have this amazing ability to gain money at will, they should be more then willing to give some up to thier fellow man.

Yet another person who hasn't read the thread before commenting! I'll say it for about the zillionth, "88% of all individuals in America with a net personal value over $10 million are first generation wealthy." This is from the book The Millionaire Next Door, an exhaustive study on America's wealthy class of the late 20th century.
Where did you get your statistic of "most rich people are born rich"? I'm willing to be $100 that you just made it up.
