Inequality

There has been a lot in the media recently about income inequality.  In any system there are winners and losers.  But in a Capitalistic system, there is opportunity.  There are countless rags to riches stories in our country.  But you don't get there by wishing for it or expecting someone to give it to you.  It takes work.  Blood, sweat and tears.

I saw this the other day and it sorta resonated.  Those screaming the loudest never seem to begrudge the celebrities and the darlings of the media their wealth.  It's always the no good, conniving, slimy corporate tycoons.  But you know what?  Those in business are the ones driving our economy to new heights.  So the next time you hear about the plight of those being exploited by corporations, think about what those corporations mean to our economy.  Because as President Calvin Coolidge said, "the business of America is business".
