Prosperity

When are people going to stop resenting the rich, and realize that the richer they get, the more opportunities everyone else will have to make money. Once again, sports provide a wonderful example: athletes actually complain about being 'used' by the owners to make money. Hmm, let us think about this one. Without the owners, athletes would have zero opportunity to make the multi-millions they rake in every year. The great thing about capitalism, is that the owners benefit too! Everybody wins, except when people start resenting the rich, believing instead that they should have to be taxed higher. All this will do is cause them to have to pay their employees less - this hurts everyone! Stop resenting rich people! Be thankful that we live in a country that (so far) provides opportunities for people to get rich!
