Is Eli Manning not entitled to success? He developed his talent, dealt with the famous dad and older brother who went to a more prestigious college and led his NY Giants to two superbowl wins. And he is not entitled to every damn bit of success now? In what reality?
And how about brother Peyton? Comes back from an awful injury, takes a risk on a team that is floundering after finally wising up and tossing the dumbest coach ever, taking commercials poking a bit of fun at the "fragile Peyton" image he has now .... He is not entitled to this success? Barry should confiscate the Manning's money and distribute it to SEIU type union thugs and the welfare class?
And I firmly believe that 90% of business owners who are successful also damn well earned that success. They put in 80+ hour weeks, they white knuckled through the lean start-up years when they could have lost their house or life savings if the business failed, they had the vision to see that their product or service would be in demand and support a profitable business. These folks are not entitled to success?! Like hell they are not entitled, they damn well should be able to drive fancier cars, have bigger houses, or take luxury class vacations now, vs the folks who just played it safe working for a salary. I am one of those play it safe, salary folks and I sure as hell don't think its unfair that I can't afford as big a house as someone who built a business, I didn't share the risks why would I expect to share the rewards?
What kind of idiot believes most business folks would put themselves through the white knuckle years and long hours if they don't get to enjoy the fruits of success later? How ignorant do you have to be to not know how desolate communist economies always are when the governments owns businesses and no one is entitled to success when the business does well?
