[CP19390]

I doubt if most of them feel guilty, but I believe they should. I think I would if I were in their shoes. As for all that nonsense about them having earned their millions/billions honestly and through hard work, I say "so what?" Much of what they do is not even socially useful. (For example, stock market, advertising, violent entertainment, sugary processed snack food, useless luxury items, sports stars, etc.) Anyway, the money they do make is made off the backs of other people. I always find it interesting to compare the income of the CEO of a company with the salary of the lowest-paid employee of that company: There's food for thought! It's not about hard work: There are many poor people who work extremely hard for what amounts to peanuts. But just to put this in perspective, everyone in North America, even those on welfare, is incredibly wealthy when compared with the people of the Third World. We should all realize that we are in a position of affluence, which we were born into and did not earn, and we therefore have a responsibility to try to "even things out" as best we can.
