If you confiscated ALL the wealth in the United States and gave everyone the exact same amount, after about twenty years, most of the same people who are rich now will be rich then, and most of the same people who are poor now will be poor then. You wanna know why? It’s because – other than in rare situations – people become rich or poor on the basis of the decisions they make. The people who make decisions that typically lead to wealth will continue to do so; so will the people whose decisions typically lead to poverty. Poverty and wealth are the byproducts of personal decisions.
And life isn’t that much more complicated than this, folks.
