Wrong, they should be happy it's not 90% or 100% of what he makes. Don't be naieve, why would you deserve anything when there are people who could wipe your life away with the stroke of a pen. Don't pretend you've deserved anything you've worked for. It has been granted to you by those in power as they have seen fit. Your petty idealism has no place in the real world.

I think this post was meant in sarcasm but sadly it is a more accurate reflection of the world...
I meant it as hyperrealism. It's not really constructive, just venting a little frustration with people calling me naieve.
You meant is a your utopian society. People who can make money can survive. People who can't are left to die. People who can protect themselves can survive. People who can't won't.
See people cheering the cutting of funding for Meals on Wheels make me want to vomit.
