The Wealthy Have 'Worked Hard' And Deserve To Keep Their Money

[freethought]

39. Getting rich is not necessarily a function of working hard.

It seems as much a function of who you know and how well and with whom you have networked.

One should tell this relative that CEOs make 500 times the pay of an average worker. Does she truly believe that CEO work 500 times harder? Would it even be possible to work 500 times harder? Besides what's wrong with being a mechanic? A surprising number of people don't have a clue as to how to change their motor oil never mind do a complicated engine repair. My father was, at various times in his adult life, a welder(working in a shipyard during WWII), auto worker, carpenter, and construction worker.

If Mitt Romney worked THAT HARD to earn his money he would be a cripple, mentally ill, or both.

Also point out this: How would our economy function if everyone was a lawyer, doctor, accountant, or other professional? Who would drive the trucks that deliver goods to damned near everywhere? Who would build the roads, bridges, buildings, homes and other infastructure? Who would fix things when they break down. If everyone was a professional, our world would collapse.

Tell her to do herself and the world a favor and turn off Faux News!
