  A.

  Isn't that part of the beauty of the United States? That people can have the opportunity to succeed on their own and rightfully reap the benefits?

  A, of course!

  I would feel ashamed to ask for, let alone demand, the fruits of another persons success.

  I’d rather have the opportunity to succeed, but that don’t happen to everyone now days. With the economy the way it is now, there will have to be more sharing than before. No jobs, no pay, then what?

  This question is a lead question. Everyone wants the opportunity. But the fact of the matter is under the current administration the wealthy has had plenty of oppurtunity to give back to their employees because they have made so much. But guess what they didn’t. So as their salaries increased “JOEs” didn’t and that is a fact. The price of everything has gone up and common folk are taxed more while the people who are successful receive unbelievable benefits. So now I support a change and if that means to Tax wealthy folk more instead of non-wealthy folk than I am all for it. Because the wealthy had a chance to make it right and instead they put most of the money earned by thier employees in their back pockets instead of making sure that they earn more
