like everything else, this situation is as it has always been in
a seriously capitalistic society: relative. that is, compared to
millions of folks in this country, your own economic condition, as
you stood chatting in silver creek with those pilots, is just as far
fetched to them as that of the pilot's boss's is to you.

You missed the point. The problem (as I see it, anyway) is *inherited*
wealth.

As your contribution to society, you're leaving nothing to your kids, right?
