Most economies favor people who work hard and are intelligent enough to make a lot of money in exchange for their work and for their ideas and their creativity.
People who want to sit around on their butts and cry like babies typically complain about economic inequality, and want to level the playing field so that they can live better lives without having to exert themselves.
A perfect example of "leveling" is the social justice idiocy being perpetrated in New York City by it's idiot mayor, who wants to eliminate programs for gifted children in order to make MORE funds available for below average children.
So what he will end up accomplishing is an average, of mediocrity. The gifted children will wilt like flowers without water, and the below average are probably going to remain that way.

@4meAndyou A good work ethic, good job performance and attitude are critical to making money in a production economy. The creative mind can boost a person's chances of increased affluence as well.
It's also very important to cultivate mutual trust in the employer / manager / employee / contractee / relationship as well.
A creative person may wake up one day to discover and find his ideas that were pooh poohed or even scoffed at by his manager's are widely implemented and capitalized upon elsewhere by outsiders who've been buying his ideas through a creativity theif taking credit where none was due. All those years being deprived himself of his own creative conveniences.
I notice the law cannot often protect employees from intellectual theft. Even or for that matter, justly compensate them because of their usual legal and economic superiority. Then, that being the case, I'm wondering if there actually is always case to be made for sharing one's creativity. The system we now have in place fosters it at the international level, of course. And I could write a book about how companies use employee proxies to close off action by the aggrieved.
Okay I've said my peeve. Let the pooh poohing begin. 😂

@SteelHands I agree. Intellectual theft is a real problem, especially with China.
BTW the comment up above not directed at you. It was directed at an abusive woman from California who felt she had to call me selfish, judgemental, and greedy for having an opinion.

@SteelHands Thank you for being supportive. I have a hard time understanding why total strangers who apparently disagree with me on economic issues can call me selfish and greedy and judgemental when I am stating a basic truth. I don't know the lady in question, nor do I know anything about her education, but I suppose lack of education is part of the reason why our country is so divided right now.
