Why "x% of people have y% of the wealth" is irrelevant.

To repeat what I said:

"Everyone in this one (that works) can afford a car and a home unless they choose to waste their money on other things."

Oh I see, not letting your children starve is "wasting your money on other things".

Let's say that I pull in $1 million dollars a year. This would make me wealthy by anyone's standards. Now, let's say I'm paying $300k a year in taxes cause I'm good with loopholes and so I only have $700k. Now, let's say I go out and irresponsibly father 150 kids. The courts rule that I have to pay out $5000 per year in child support per kid, leaving me making -$50,000 per year. Whose fault is it that I'm now poor? How much sympathy do you really have for me?
