Alot of money compared with the nuns of, say. eighty years ago, and even the small town GP of the same time. Thats because there is so more more money in the system. Sio maybe I should have said everyone thinks that lots of money is available. A good heart surgeon makes more in one year than my family doctor did in his whole career, and my doctor did well enough for a country boy, But money is a part of medicine just as it is in religion, where those on top can manage to live like dukes, however pure their hearts may remain. I also remember a talk I had with him, when I was about 14 and he was trying to persuade me to become a doctor, that no one worth his salt at any table if his only concern, or even his chief concern was about money. But there it is, lying there on the ground. like a heap of bananas in front of a bunch of chimps, and so often they can never get enough of the stuff.
You sound like someone jealous of people who make lots of money. I don’t begrudge anyone who is either wealthy or working to achieve wealth and success. It used to be what people aspired to in this country. But now the liberals make it sound like something bad. Maybe you could jump on the bandwagon for Obama’s latest distraction that he says he will focus on like a laser....income inequality. That way instead of rich and poor, everyone could be equally poor (except for the elite liberals, of course). Instead of equal opportunity to get ahead, we could just give up and go for the redistribution of wealth from those that have to it those that don’t, like yourself. Its called communism.
