What's "worth" got to do with anything? Some HAVE more than a million
because others willingly GAVE it to them.

Oh, there are exceptions, but in the main the wealthy earned their fortunes.



Those that earned their wealth, how much harder than you did they work
to earn that amount?

What does "how hard they work" have to do with anything. A ditch digger works
"harder" than I do, but I make a few times what they do.

Lets say you work 40 hours a week and earn $100,000 per year.

Do you think that on average that some one that makes $1,000,000 per
year has worked 10 times harder than you?

They've at least worked 10x smarter than have I. Someone willingly *gave*
them that money.

I am talking about harder not smarter.

One's skills don't matter?

When something needs to be created, built, constructed, or erected what
basic element MUST you have to get the job done? Without it nothing
could be done.

Those with skills shouldn't be paid more than those who can't?

what would be worth more to a company that produced product?

Usually, the ones who thought up the product, the way to pay for the product,
or the ones who protected the investors who paid. You can tell that they're
worth more because, well, they're paid more.
