You are just plain wrong about that last bit, and everything
else in your post is leading up to it the entire thing is faulty,
people don't need to be poor at all, but we are not all equal and the
rewards for work done should be higher in the cases where the work
is more valuble, higher quality, or necessitates skills difficult to
learn. The reason that some people are rich and some people are
poor in a capitalistic society is not that some people are taking
more than their fair share it's that the buisenss practices of our
country's rich are devoid of any sembelence of morality. We don't
need to change the system, we need to do our best to keep
our fellow americans moral and humane.
