    Well Don, that is how the world works. Do you expect the brilliant and resourceful to be held back just so the less so feel better. I am nowhere near as right wing as RTT is but I believe those with better abilities should be rewarded.

    It's not about holding back successful people, its about the fact that some people look for any opportunity to rag on others in society as being lazy, not enterprising or somehow deficient because they don't have money or jobs.
