because they started the companies and they're the ones running it all. if the CEO goes somehow everything is blown. THEY'RE THE LEADER IT'S NOT THAT HARD OF A CONCEPT

Obama also made more money before he was elected president...he was raised in a wealthier household than Romney and yet HE is the rich one

Then why do you still live here?

that is absolutely true I see it every day

um...maybe there is class privilege, but white people don't get anything just for being white. if anything ethnic people get things just for being ethnic. they get scholarships and food stamps and even jobs just because people need to be "diverse" and not for their actual skills. but the first female millionaire in America was the daughter of a slave. maybe the reason people still think black people are held back is because they're holding themselves back.

I agree with the latter. Income tax is already really high. taxing the wealthy has NEVER WORKED IN HISTORY. what will work is to quit giving away "free" things to people who don't work.

that's true we are the richest. however, we're also trillions of dollars in debt. also, to be able to provide education for the millions of kids in the country. let's say $15,000 per kid, well that's millions of dollars. not to say we didn't already bail out Wall St. millions. however I DO think it's possible to provide every kid with an education from a community college/two year school. that way they have all their general education and they can go to any university.
