Here is the short. There are always scumbags at the top and bottom. Always taking advantage of a system. Name them, who cares? In my experience advising people I have always seen expansion which includes new employees and their own opportunity when business owners reduce expenses, which in 100% of the cases taxes is the largest expense. Just today I met with a doctor and in reducing his taxes 60% we are,putting money in his employees pocket, that's real. That being said, I am a minority in the USA, ethnically speaking. I worked from 10 years old to today, mowing lawns, delivering pizza to advising millionaire. All the cards were stacked against me and my brothers. Never once did I think because someone has more, they owe me money or other benefits. Single mom making 7.25 an hour. I worked full time through,college as did my brothers, high school too. No handouts. My parents gave me 500 for college, thats it, that's all they had. The USA is about opportunity. I worked hard, I am a "minority", I almost failed three times. I wanted more for me and my family. I worked hard, harder than many. I am in my late thirties, I own a business, I employ people, I am upper middle class. No one gave me anything. In this country you can be what you want to be, if you want to work. Never once did I think that I was owed "things" because I was poor. I earned it! Entitlement is a manufactured belief. Both of my brothers also own their own businesses, architecture and graphic design. Poor, very poor, as I was doesn't make me entitled to take other people success. The USA is a remarkable place to call home, where I could be what I wanted to be, not defined by my race or my socioeconomic class! There are always scumbags.
