Thanks for informing us that wealth is directly related to effort and taking risks, now that I know the 1% is doing 99% of the labor I guess their salaries are reasonable. They literally are doing the work of hundrededs of people, and their compensation is totally unrelated to the better education they had, or the wealthy contacts they've made during it.
Those relatively wealthy Americans should look at India and see how well-off they are in comparison, and then stop being so lazy, because it really is just that simple.
