sure we would all like to ... but I respect those that did. I am sure people are envious of you or me as well, but it is all relative. My only point is that nothing stops anyone from achieving more in life. It is about choices, education, disapline, hard work, and brains. Those that are more successful than others should not be penalized or criticized for thier success. they should be applauded that we live in a country that allows them to achieve that success.
What I disagree with is the class warefare and talking about more equality in incomes. I heard Maxine Waters this morning on CNBC saying a CEO should not makes millions of dollars while the people on the shop floor make $40K a year. My reaction is why not. I am sure we would have well run companies and job creation if we limited CEO's salaries. That is just wrong thinking and it is scary that we have an administration and members of congress that think that way. It may get them votes with certain people, but it is not good for the country or our future.
Jobs are a pyramid, as you move up it is the top talent that gets to the top. We need to be applauding those that are up there since they are also out due to lack of performance. But it took a lot of hard work and personal sacrafice to get there ... so why should it be redistributed to others that did not achieve the same education, hard work, travel, etc.
Our tax system already penalizes success ... all Obama wants to do is penalize it more, which I can not imagine how that is good for the country.
