There's also the economic angle to consider, for a thorough appraisal.

As the abyss between rich and poor widens, we can expect increasing civil unrest.

This is overplayed, and misused rhetoric m8.

"Zomg!!! look how much they have compared to me!!!!"........I hear that a lot.

I currently have 18 people working for me. I should make much more than they do. I'm invested here. They aren't. Do you agree so far?

Now, Of those 18 people working for me........18 have a more expensive cell phone and cell phone package, than I do. I have a more expensive vehicle.....but it's paid for. I have a lower insurance rate, because my driving record is clear, and I don't have to have full coverage.

I spend about 18 hours a day, usually 7 days a week at work. They each spend between 30-40. When their day off comes, they go party.....or watch a movie, or go out and eat. I end up here, working. I don't go play that much. So my costs for fun things, is much lower than theirs.

Now, I have cable at home, basic that is. They have hbo, max, and other movie channels. So again, I pay less. If I want to watch a movie, I'll Netflix it, or wait till it comes out.....they will rush down to the movies, and pay 30 bucks for a movie and a drink. So.....again, they pay more.

They work less hours.....and they spend more. So of course at the end of the day, I'll have more than they will. Partly because I own the business, and party (a LARGE part), because they do not budget what money they have.

I'll save up my money and time, and take a cruise for a week or two for my fun time........they'll take their fun times whenever the mood strikes them. Which one of us is living smarter?

I don't begrudge those that have more than I do, and I'm not interested in some vague 'wealth gap' shit. If someone's got more than I do, then props to them, why should I give a shit? I'm fine.

If I end up making less in the future, I'll cut back as needed, and I'll still be fine.

A HUGE part of this wealth gap nonsense, is simply that people WANT, and SPEND, and take no responsibility for their actions.
