Many, if not most, of American's rich are self-made, most obviously in tech, where the amount of wealth accrued to Gen X's and Millennial boggles the mind. Does your indictment extent to those people was well, or is reserved for people whose parents were rich?


You're trying to muddy the waters by bringing up "high" tech salaries, given that we're both tech people. But we don't really make society-shaping decisions by bribing politicians (well, I don't). The sort of people who do, and the sort of people I'm referring to, and the sort of entitled cheating of The System that I object to, is well illustrated by this: https://www.propublica.org/article/secret-irs-files-reveal-h...

Turning a $20 million donation into a $500 million tax break is both enriching oneself and starving everyone else. My "indictment" is a mere recognizance of what's in front of me. What does this look like to you?
