    Why are you only comparing people in different industry? What if you’re an hourly wage worker who works twice as many hours as your coworker? Nothing is stopping your coworker to do the same except him/herself.[/quote]

    Ok. So a person who works more hours pays a higher tax rate because he makes more money. So what? That’s his decision. It must be beneficial to him if he’s doing it. If not, there are other workers who would gladly do the work.[/quote]
    Is it fair? What does he get more from society than the guy who only work his 40 hours?

    He gets more money out of society. His share of GDP becomes greater.

    But doesn’t he put in more into society by working more? Work = input, money = output, right?

    Wow.

    So what you’re basically saying is Goldman Sachs has contributed lots of value to society.

    AIG? Countrywide? Washington Mutual?

    WorldCom? Enron? Peregrine?

    Mexican drug cartels?

    Good grief.

    Wealth is loosely correlated to contributions to society, but more often, it correlates with power and ownership of capital and resources.
