You know what the problem with your silly anecdote is? For every successful entrepreneur out there who "reaped the rewards of their hard work", there are ten or fifty or a hundred who, for whatever reason, weren't so lucky. And if we continue to screw them over at the cost of further rewarding the already rewarded, then I hope you like more dissatisfaction with your society and violence in your streets, because I predict that's exactly what you're going to get.
