Ah, and there lies the difference. I'm far from rich, but prefer to work hard and "earn" a decent living for me and mine. I am fortunate enough to live in a country where I've had the same chance to chase wealth as any other man. Sure, some are born wealthy, and some steal it, but I prefer to focus on the many who started with nothing and built buisnesses that provide goods and services and employ people. Why on earth, would I feel entitled to, or want to take something that I hadn't earned? Our thinking is obviously worlds apart.
