What do you consider "worked for"? There are people who work two, three jobs, sleep less than 4 hours a day, and is barely keeping food on the table. conversely, there are 20-30 year olds with so much money that they can't spend it in 2 lifetimes because their parents are passing money on to them (never had to lift a finger, except to attend some prestigious college that they got into/show up to a job they got because of "connections"). This webcomic should break it down easy enough for you. [url]http://digitalsynopsis.com/inspiration/privileged-kids-on-a-plate-pencilsword-toby-morris/[/url] The issue is that there is a wealth gap, and on top of that, your policies are such that it's almost impossible to catch up, no matter how hard you work. - No minimum wage = people struggling just to feed themselves despite working 140 hours a week. - Schools not equally available (or equal quality) to all kids when education, at the very least should be equal for all - Post-secondary education is not subsidized, and tuition fees are off the charts - You don't have public healthcare, so if you ever get sick, you're just plain -blam!-ed if you're poor. Can you see where this is going? The policies are currently kicking people who're already down. The government itself needs to be "fixed". The fact that you can privately pay for politicians to run their campaigns means that you have sway over politicians and their future policies about your business. You have enough accumulated wealth that you can pay politicians to make policies that help you earn even more in the future. It's a never-ending cycle. It's a systems that allows corruption.
