If it weren't for the socialist public education in the U.S. the rich would have had to educate the work force that makes their money for them, the work force that has steadily become more educated, the work force that need to learn new technologies, to embrace new management systems, that needed the education necessary to work in the factories and corporations of 20th and 21st century America.
When conservatives argue that it is wrong to tax the successful and the producers in America they show a total lack of understanding about, at least, modern society. No one person makes money all by themselves. No one person has financed the education and the infrastructures that make this modern State possible. The entrepreneurs are the beneficiaries of the colleges that conservatives love to condemn and disparage; they are beneficiaries of the socialistic transportation system in the United States; they are beneficiaries of the government funded health and research programs. The rich are simply the collection points of the millions of individual flows within a modern society. The rich shouldn't take it personally.
