Very well articulated. I tend to agree that everyone should be treated equal. The idea that rich people don't deserve this similar and equal consideration (that everyone else expects) is absurd to me.

Yeah. Me too. Where is the cutoff line for who's rich? I mean..I'm filthy rich compared to many people in poorer countries..but I might be poor in my respective country. And why is 40k EOS considered rich? It's ruffly 320k USD, which for most people, even in rich countries is considered A LOT of money to have in EOS. So why isn't that number 10k EOS? Or 500 EOS?
It's just too relative for me. And like you say, why is it that poor people "deserve" things, whereas rich doesn't? If anything it's the rich that deserve more breaks, because they have been struggling against taxation, government, employees who doesn't understand that they have perhaps worked 10 years for free and is now paying themselves BACK for those ten years of earning almost nothing. Many people forget that. When some businessman starts paying himself 300k a year, it's because he has worked for free for 5,10, 15 years starting and growing his/her business.
Anyway..a digression. But I tend to agree with you on this matter.
