Poll: what percentage of a nation's wealth...

In a fair society the top 20% should get 35% of a nation's wealth because... The these top 20 percent have a talent for using their wealth wisely , at least as compared with the other 80% .

So it is a problem of teaching the other 80% how to use their wealth more wisely .

We need to understand and accept that nature did not place an equal amount of wisdom for handling ones wealth in every individual person , and that even if nature had made every individual equal in this wisdom , some of them would still use their wealth for dope , some wine , some beer , some cigarets , some to buy expensive cameras and lenses , and others would use their wealth to buy large screen TV sets or Dog food for their five dogs .

Freedom of choice is still making things unequal . Then some individuals get serious illnesses , or very expensive injuries , from Sky Diving , or riding horseback , or motorcycles .

We should not punish the top 20% by taking what they were able to save just to hand it over to those who will just loose it by using it unwisely .

If we redistribute all wealth to make the poor as wealthy as the wealthy , the entire nation would become very poor , because it would be the waste and mismanagement of the unwise which would determin the welbeing of the entire population , all would be poor .

It is good that some people are wise , because they at least provide employment for behavior which is good for the country or provides products that are good for the nation .

This is a system of capitalism , the opposite of socialism or communism .

I would rather not be forced to take a public bus to go shopping or go to work because I just don't want to sit on a bench where someone left his lunch , ot something even worse .

People do not take care of things they never had to pay for . that is socialism and communism .

Personal responsibility is a good thing , but it does not work so well on public property , like busses and public parks . Just look at what the 99% ers did to the parks ans gardens of the places where they camped to see what I am saying .
