@newsreader.readnews.com:

At least part of the "root cause" is that some people, through
education, experience, natural ability, etc. know how to create a
surplus and others don't. If you took one of each and started them out
on an equal footing, before long one would be rich and the other would
be poor. How do you propose to "get at" the unequal distribution of
talent and ability for making and holding onto wealth?

I'd like to reward the generators of wealth, and I'd like to not support
the spendthrifts and mismanaging people. But they do have kids, so perhaps
society would be better off if we didn't punish the kids of stupid (for
lack of a better word) people, at least not too much. My kids (daughter
and son-in-law) teach high school in not very rich school districts, and
they are trying to make a difference and "uplift" the kids they teach, with
some success.
