That's my problem with the current system. Entrepreneurs take risks, have 
better skills and should be rewarded for their efforts. However when the 
reward is counted in the billions somebody is getting screwed. When every 
dollar that isn't nailed down gravitates to the top, somebody is getting 
screwed.

A great example of the ethos is Biden giving Soros a medal. That's the guy 
who nearly destroyed the Bank of England with his manipulations.
