I like this article. And I would like to add that it is entirely unwise to exert any pressure on those who (legally) keep the production of wealth running. Whoever does that must of course share in the benefits. Simple as that.  An unfortunate result of having so many people not finding employment is that money is transferred from the (often-struggling-to-make-ends-meet tax-paying working midde class) to assit those at the bottom of the economic ladder with housing and other perks. In a growing economy many of those at the bottom should be able to find employment. This way the poor end of the spectrum could be marginally raised (made richer). If the entrepreneur at top also gains, and the gap remains as wide as now-- so what?
