>Thats not my point. You're always banging on about how you've earned what you've got and why should anyone take it from you (a very fair point BTW) I just wanted to know how you felt about those who didn't earn "it" but got it through an accident of birth.

>You know what? There are lots of things that are accidents of birth - if one inherits good genes and a great metabolism, that is an accident of birth. What am I going to do, try to penalize people who are nautrally thin because they don't have to work as hard as it as I do through diet and exercise? After all, it isn't fair....

Tsk, tsk... you're just like my old CEO (and, btw, the secretary of the local committee of The Party). When we complained that we (the data processing unit, most of us having at least a BS degree) can't earn any better than the textile retail workers because our unit is following the average of the whole enterprise, he didn't say anything about thinking to find a way to better the position of the wronged side. He went to the textile retail and told them the programmers thought they in the retail are earning too much and their salaries should be lower.

Why is your knee-jerk reaction about whoever thinks the system is bad and should be fixed that they want, from day one, to penalize someone, to rob someone, and even if some of that is planned, they'd always take it from the honest working people like you, not the big robbers? One of these days I'll start getting an impressions these big guys are paying you handsomely for this.
