------------- Absolutely. In America, success has become divorced from productivity, success is now antithetical to productivity, in fact, the attitude is that, if you produced anything (did any work for it) it was because you were too STUPID to succeed in cheating someone out of it or stealing it. People who have to or wsnt to actually do productive work for a living are looked down upon as suckers. The ideal is indolent wealth by connivasnce and trickery.

Disagree. Historically, the least productive (warlords, kings, landowners) got all the wealth. America is probably farthest from that situation as any society has ever been in history.

Not difficult, when most of the population has a negative net worth. All that credit card debt and SUV loans.
Why do you care about productivity? I thought you wanted everybody's hourly wages to be the same.

------------------- Some ways in that direction, but Europe, for example, is MUCH farther along:
In the USA, 2% of the population own OVER 50% of EVERYTHING!
In Europe, it takes fully 30% of the population to own half of everything!! This is a MONSTROUS difference!!
