Sorry about the typo. I went to a prestigious high school that my "rich" parents payed very good money for me to attend. There are actually a good amount of ceo's, doctors, lawyers, professional athletes, etc... that all attended this prestigious hgh school as well. I know a professional athlete that makes roughly $4 million a year and pays more than that $300,000 figure you threw out. That is only 10% of their earnings for a person making $3,000,000. Isn't the highest tax bracket around 38%?
It sounds as if you do not have a problem with people working hard and making their money. The ceo's I know of major construction companies that are making big big bucks have all worked very hard to do so. If they are investing their money, good for them. There is nothing wrong with that. If more people invested rather than spent what they got right away, we wouldn't be dealing with the current mortgage crisis.
As far as I go, no I am not rich yet, but I plan to work hard so I can enjoy all the luxuries my parents and their parents have. I really don't reach a point in your whole discussion. Do you have a problem with people working hard and making a large amount of money? Do you feel the rich should be taxed more than they are? I see a lot of words but no point.
Please answer those questions for me, before I go to my parents new condo on the Florida panhandle this weekend.
