    The thing again though is if it was a case where the ones with the most made as much or really the most sacrifice. I bet not many people would be frustrated. But when you are forced sacrifice so the world can see the first trillionaire be birthed. thats a big rasberries all around.

      It has always been like this relatively speaking, in post hunter/gatherer society. Except there was a very small middle class in those days The nobles as compared to the serfs were the same. Except that the serfs hung at the edge of survival whereas we have indoor plumbing, decent shelter, electricity, tv, internet, healthcare, workers rights, and the priviledge of travel.
