I wish those SMART,HARDWORKING types would help educate us... you know the "uneducated public." I would have to disagree with your statement that MOST have earned their own money, while there are many that have, there are just as many that have not. As a nurse, I feel I work hard, both physically and mentally, but in order to advance I would have to continue my education, somethng that is not easy to do when you work in a field in which there is a shortage. Who will cover for me while I am taking classes and working to improve my lot, and how will I support my family while I am in school and losing hours at work? While I do see your point and agree with much of what you say, I just have to point out that it is really not that cut and dry. I do agree with your statement that the "evil" corporations are not the source of all of our problems, but I do feel that the rich should pay more in tax, not a huge amount, but even a little would help, because there really are some hard working people that are very much needed in our society, but are not in a position in which they can ever really become rich, however they probably provide the services that the rich depend on. This of course goes both ways, I admire some of the hard working people that are better off then I am and provide services that I depend on, I would not say that they work any harder then the next guy, they are just in a field in which there is better earning potential. I wish there were an easy answer.
