>>>Has this discussion morphed into how people make more money? Or is it still a discussion on how much of one's earnings should be given to others? Or is it an entirely different discussion now? I've lost track... :o)

>>I focused on Marcia's statement that she earns more because she works harder. I have not tried to work that into a manifesto of greed, or philanthropy, or good or bad. I just found the logic of the statement itself faulty.

>>>What I fail to see is why a portion of her income should go to the coal miner, the waitress, the plumber, or the seamstress? If she was smart enough and motivated enough to earn a good salary for herself and her family, why should she be penalized by having a portion of it taken away? Is there a new rule that states that everyone in this country deserves the same salary regardless of their efforts or their interests?

>>I never once said her salary should go to a coal miner or anyone else. I just said that the statement that working harder means higher income is not always correct.
