Continuation.....
Some people are pleasing to look at, have nice voices and look good sitting behind a anchor desk(or on the silver screen) and sound intelligent because the stuff they are reading off the teleprompter or from a script (which is written by someone else most of the time) makes them APPEAR to be intelligent. They exude confidence in their own persons. They sign contracts with networks worth many, many millions of dollars a year because people who watch TV are usually faithful watchers who rarely change the channel when the news comes on. These people, the Bill Moyers, Peter Jennings and Mike Wallaces of the world, make gazillions of dollars because they have convinced the majority of people that they KNOW things that the average person doesn't, have gigantic field reporter staffs, great investigative staffs and are constantly harping on how unjust the world is , and how rich people are undeserving of all their wealth, except themselves, of course.Do you think that what they do is worth THAT kind of money for sitting in front of a desk for 2-3 hours a day? After all, the only real talents they have are the talents of, confidence, beauty and a great staff that does the homework and leg work for them and the ability to foster classs consciencousness and envy every chance they get .They are always pointing out how wrong it is to be the "evil rich"(doctors, lawyers and businessmen) as opposed to the "justly rich" (themselves and their fellow entertainers and those old monied families that fund the huge foundations that the journalists love). If you like to be constantly pumped full of propaganda about the evil unjust society we live in and how no one (except themselves ) should have more than anyone else then continue to watch them and join their class war. Maybe you will achieve the "justice" you think you deserve. Be warned though, the justice that you get is not always what you ask for.
Lastly, there are people who have a talent for making money. They take chances investing OWN money is other people's ventures. They could (and many times do) lose everything because of poor investment choices. Sometimes they become fabulously wealthy because they "saw" something in someone else and their business and took a risk and put their own money into that business that paid off. Do they deserve to be wealthy? I think so. The product or service must be something many people want or need otherwise the company wouldn't make money, right?
A subcategory of this investor is the kind of investor who knows the right people, has the right contacts, and gets the inside information that allows them to make huge amounts of money because they are essentially corrupt people who are willing to do anything to have money- lie, cheat, steal, kill,etc- including selling their soul. These people give all other investors bad names. Do you want to be this kind of person- wealthy but evil? Do you really want to be the kind of person that you hate?(You must hate them you are envious of WHAT they have, not HOW they got it) From just looking on the surface of things can you tell which investor is an honest person and which one is not?
Wealth is a relative thing. Lets say the guy who lives down the block and makes $20,000 less a year than you . He thinks that he deserves to have what you have,so he breaks into your home, steals everything of wealth, kills your wife and demands that he not be punished for his crimes. Why? Because in his own eyes(and in the eyes of many of his friends) he was getting what he believed he justly deserved- (he didn't earn it, wouldn't work to get it, was lazy and uneducated,etc) and your wife happened to get in his way and wouldn't relinquish her property. Or let's say that he is so lazy that he hires some one else to do the crimes .Do you think that that person(s) should go to jail ?If you TRULY believe in the concept of social justice as espoused by most socialists( and many of you, from what I am reading) - that everyone should have the same and that no one should have any more than anyone else- then you could not convict him or his employee of anything because he saw an unjustness and acted on it- he was the "victim". You had something more than him, he envied you, he wanted it , so he took it. That IS the social justice and class justice that you are talking about here. Oh, the employee he hired? He was the politicians you vote for every time you vote for some one who promises to make the "rich" pay. He's the one with the gun at your head- demanding your money for the more "deserving" fellow down the block, the one who has less than you do.
