Everyone is infinitely valuable, and no amount of money will ever begin
to weigh the value of a human being. Money is an economic flow, and
some folks really do offer great economic value. Many have sold their
souls and thier lives to do so, so why hate or envy them. Do YOU want
to be a fat out of shape executive flying 400,000 miles per year under
stress to keep up quarterly profits?

Stephen Jobs earned his bux along with the entrepreneurs who formed
hewlett packard, tandem computers, sun microsystems and so many wealth
creating agencies, that REALLY have created great wealth. If someone
is willing to pay you a cool mil for your work, then who am i to care,
as surely its your business and not mine.

Rather what i hear in this is the ugly wealth-hating socialist tone of
the USSR that did not respect private property, rather simply taking
whatever the politically powerful wanted from private citizens, and
using the violations of property rights to break people. It smacks of
envy and greed to be so anti-wealth. Its only money, and you are
already worth 100 millions of dollars. If you don't want to be so
economically solvent, then you arn't, and that is free will, so what
is the problem with free will, that people must get their noses out
of joint by other people's economic choices.

Indeed, our society has cheated generations now by pumping money in to
a giant army for the empire, and millions are cheated of healthcare
and decent social services. But the high earners are not the problem
in all this... no, they simply, much like martial artists, have
mastered a certain skill of breaking 10 bricks with the bare hands.
Why tear people down, rather build people up... its so much more
politically powerful.
