You know, with kids in school, we reward the ones who do good. They get good grades thru studying. They get the scholarships and awards. The ones who choose not to do so well, we use the ones who do well as a positive example. We don't say "oh, here Johnny, I understand you don't feel like studying to get those good grades, so we'll just take some of the recognition and accolades from Jimmy, who DID study and got good grades, and give that to you. Afterall, we need to spread these things out". That is NOT what we do, so why is it any different with people's wealth???
