@Xaanix73 I wasn't necessarily meaning that someone would become poor as a result of another person becoming rich. The point I was trying to make is that those who are rich depend on those who are poor for their wealth. Employers (rich) need their employees (poor) to stay within a certain income bracket otherwise the employees would not work that particular job and with no workers the employer's business would be ruined.

@BeekersSqueakers thats not exactly true, the vast majority of college courses i ever took (at Rutgers) were graded on a curve. On a fair curve, most people get C's and those who got A's are offset by those who got F's. It can thus be said that those who got A's got them at the expensive of those who got F's. With the economy, when someone creates wealth it is *not* at the expense of someone else becoming poor. The size of the 'pie' is not fixed.

Its scary to think these kids are getting good grades. GPA is no sign of basic intelligence and ability to reason.

Few things. GPA's are capped. I can't invest my GPA to make more GPA. I can't buy/sell/trade my GPA, except at a set amount for a single item... Wait don't teachers already redistribute GPA? Isn't it called a curve? Doesn't it already force people to the average?

Its about hate envy and greed. If the wealthy keeps their wealth, they are "greedy". If they have it stolen from them by the Government then it suddenly becomes "compassion". Create a need, fill the need, then tell the brainless who you used to filled the need, they cannot survive without the creators of the need. IE; the left. It's all about buying votes, enslaving people and brainwashing those people into believing they can never free themselves from it..

@BeekersSqueakers .....Are you saying that the poor are poor because the rich are rich? That's rediculous!!!!

Wait until these Children get out in the real world.

Most of the high earners... small business owners work twice as hard to get where they are in life... They worked twice as hard in college and work twice as hard in the real world. Many have risked everything they had to start a company, worked sometimes for years without an income to finally see the payoff.

Why is there so much hate for the wealthy? Realize that the wealthy provide substantial donations to many charitable organizations, not to mention the millions of jobs they create. The system is truly broken when I actually dread getting a raise because it puts me in a higher tax bracket.

I've never been employed by a poor person, have you?

[BeekersSqueakers]

@bomac10000 Not necessarily. The A students don't rely on the failing students in order to get their A's. However, the rich do rely on the poor for their wealth, so no matter how well someone's career performance is, not everyone will be able to become rich.

[BeekersSqueakers]

I find this video to be a little erroneous. For one, a person's ability to earn a good GPA is entirely based on that person's own performance, their ability to earn money not so much. Everyone who goes to school can earn an A if they work hard enough, but not everyone can be rich. For instance, the CEO of a company relies on his employees in order to keep the business afloat and the money rolling in. If everyone was a rich CEO there would be no one to perform the lower, less paying jobs (cont)
