Answer 1

I think it is unwarranted.

Answer 2

way of the world. There will always be 2% of the world that can figure out how to cream the other 98%. That doesn't make it 'right' but it makes it unavoidable.

If you play the game by the rules, you'll be either the 2% or the 98%. Would you seriously want Corporate America run by someone who failed high school math? No, you want someone with some smarts, good contacts, business experience, a bit of school, some ideas. By the time you are about 18, its pretty much determined if you'll be in the 2%. Some say as early as 8 years old. In England, pretty much when you are born.

Now if you DONT play by the rules, its open season. Mick Jagger, Princess Di, Dali Lama, the Pope, Picasso, Karl Rove, Bruce Willis, John Grisham, Col. Sanders, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Jimmy Buffett, Shakira.

Answer 3

In a free, capitalistic society, there will always be a gap between wages. Remember, it is the executive owner who has taken the risk, and put his/her money on the line to create a business to employ the working class. More risk can lead to greater returns, but also greater loss potential. They should be rewarded for their efforts. True communism would not allow this gap to exist, but communism does not work. Man operates best when given goals and rewards to pursue. Communism curtails those goals and assumes that all men only want the best for other men.
