Hell, get as wealthy as you want, but our government needs to make sure that they're giving back to society in return.

I also wouldn't mind if everyone else got wealthier in the process and that the gaps weren't so freaking large.

Well I didn't say I was all that happy with the US populace either. Too often they're too ignorant to realize they're being gullible idiots.
Case in point, ask any believer in "Trickle-Down" economics who makes less than fifty grand a year.

Reminds me of my father in economics. Americans are single-issue voters usually. My father supports republicans only because they're against the GAWD DAYUM gayus, but is pro-union and pro-many other socialist ideas, ignorance is the leading cause of this. Which has left the far-right AKA the rich (this includes democrats) to make their own policies regarding taxation against themselves.
