However, when I see rich people throwing away their quote-unquote "earned" money I can't help but think of Gordon Gekko (Wall Street). The money comes from somewhere and if you have alot of it then in one way or another you are stepping on the little guy. This kid's dad is a Civil Engineer? Well, that means there is a good chance your tax money is padding his wallet as he designs new highway overpasses and public utilities. Of course he could work with private businesses...in which case the emloyees of the companies he designs for get the bad end of the stick when there's no money left over for raises. And what about the construction workers doing the hard labor making minimum wage and not getting any benefits?

umm not sure if you heard about it but its called "capitalism" and this country is based on it. what would you propose? we all make the same amount of money? we all live in the same houses? and all drive the same cars? you may call it "stepping on ppl" and other ppl im sure will agree but everyone is getting something out of it. tax payers are getting roads, employees are getting a pay check, and the owner of the company gets a sweet bunch of cars
annd its not like he is the only firm there. they have to put out bids and proposals, they wouldnt get the jobs if they charged way to much when another firm puts in a lower bid!!
