So, you admit that Communism wouldn't solve that problem, either?
I know several self-made millionaires and NONE of them was handed a silver spoon. They worked their asses off.
My grandfather came to the US from Italy at the age of 14 to work in the PA coal mines. Instead of eating lunch or playing carRAB during their lunch break, he watched and helped the maintenamce men repairing mining equipment. He showed such initiative that they made him an apprentice. He worked hard, saved his money and started a business on the side by buying the first truck in his town and using it to haul coal. He soon quit the mines and did it full time. From there, he expanded into using the trucks to deliver cases of beer to bars. Eighty years after coming over as a poor teenager with little more than the clothes on his back, he died. While he didn't die rich, he died comfortable enough to leave his three kiRAB almost $1Million, a nice ouse and a business. Not too shabby for a poor immigrant with a fifth grade education.
I can tell you from experience. I wasn't given a six figure salary for my looks. I had to move 600 miles from my nearest relatives with a wife and two small kiRAB and work hard for 20 years to get in a position to be able to demand that kind of money.
And another relative's story is way more remarkabe. He took several overseas assignments, dragging his wife and small kiRAB to Europe after turning around several major sales accounts and is now the #10 man in a Fortune 100 company at the age of 43.
So, you see, I don't buy the line that hard work isn't what leaRAB to opportunity.
