I laugh when I hear wealthy people complain about the "lazy" poor who want to get money for nothing. Many of those same wealthy people are also sitting on huge investments which produce lots of money for nothing and those wealthy people also generally benefited from wealthy parents who helped to give them a leg up - paid for college, car, etc.
And to say that a CEO earns his or her paycheck by working 1000x harder than a farm laborer or a construction worker is laughable. The free market has really failed a lot of people.
