MONEY IS NOT GIVEN TO MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE RICH…THEY EARN IT!

Yes…Robert Reich doesn’t want socialism. He just wants to redistribute the wealth. Memo to Mr. Reich: Money is not given to most people who are rich. They earn it. Government doesn’t give money to the rich. The rich give the money to the government. Inequality persists because there are some who refuse to educate themselves and work hard and then there are some that are satisfied with the work they have. On the other end, there are others that take risks, come up with great ideas, grow their businesses and make a lot of money. While they expend their businesses, they expand the work force. Inequality starts with the family, into education and then it is all about drive, hard work, persistence, tenacity, smarts, marketing and all the things that make someone rich and successful. Success should always be rewarded.

Francois Hollande’s victory doesn’t and shouldn’t mean a movement toward socialism in Europe or elsewhere. Socialism isn’t the answer to the basic problem haunting all rich nations.
The answer is to reform capitalism. The world’s productivity revolution is outpacing the political will of rich societies to fairly distribute its benefits. The result is widening inequality coupled with slow growth and stubbornly high unemployment.
In the United States, almost all the gains from productivity growth have been going to the top 1 percent, and the percent of the working-age population with jobs is now lower than it’s been in more than thirty years (before the vast majority of women moved into paid work).
