Hi LeTan,

Cool name you have there LeTan.

Let's face it, not all rich people can be group classified as being bad, or stealing from the poor and all that fall-de-ra.

Most of these people have worked hard to get where they have gotten, and its interesting to read how they did it.

I hope the moderator gives you a hundred stars for your intellegent post.

No, this isn't how the world is suppose to work.

These people pictured in Forbes, sat down at the table and cut themselves 3/4 of the pie and left the 1/4 piece for the rest of us.

No, this isn't logical, but this planet isn't being ran logically.

No one person should be allowed to have so much money they don't know what to do with it or could ever spend it.

As I have said before in some of my other posts, No I don't think it's right that CEO's now make millions and sometimes tens of millions of dollars a year while the person who got your breakfast McMuffin and coffee, the person you hand your child over to on your way to work, teachers, the person who cleaned your hotel toilet all barely make enough to put food on their table.

The difference in wages according to who is doing the real work should be more equalized but most people either don't care or realize how unjust the whole system is salary wise.

Movie stars that really don't add diddly squat to our society make millions yet we vote no to increase teacher's salaries.

And on and on it goes.

The asylum is being run by the inmates.

Somehow i agree with you. I don't know how many saw this movie, it's a great film and some facts may be inspired from reality. Watching it at the end one may find him/her self wondering and questioning about how viable the concept is . Lots of arguments for but also lots against and everyone is free to draw their own conclusions : Harrison Bergeron

P.S this movie should have gotten more credits and should be considered as a classic unlike other not even decent productions

I wish I could be on that list by screwing over millions of people from a basic right to livelihood!

You too can make me rich by slaving away in factories so you have no future!

Warren Buffet ... buying railroads, and Bill Gates ... investing heavily in vaccines.

One too many things do not add up do they ...

Just food for thought. Warren Buffet actually has a long record of "philanthrocapitalism" however, and seems rather humane compared to many. He looked half-decent in Wikipedia anyway, who knows.
