Perhaps you will experience illumination. Illumination has to come from within, but someone can say a few things to help it come about.
Imagine a new industry. A new industry that takes farmers' children off the farm and employs them for $50 an hour. Imagine the new industry is allowed to grow to its maximum potential and that it hires a tenth of all the workers on the planet to work at those wages.
Picture the economy as a pyramid. At the top are a few people working most productively and making high wages. At the bottom are many people with low productivity making subsistence wages. Then imagine the pyramid is made to grow, not by piling more rocks around the base, --the unproductive bottom end,-- but by raising the cap, --the most productive point. Now the pyramid is higher, its volume is larger, and the economy has grown immensely.
The poor farmer wants to do better, but his economic pyramid is already packed to capacity. Raise the cap of the pyramid 1 foot and the volume will increase many times 1 foot. Pack another stone in at the base and the pyramid will grow by one stone.
Farmers in space! See?
In addition, look at the economy as an upside down pyramid with the same structure as you suggest. In that case we see that just the productive few are supporting the entire society on their backs. This is true for the economy and the tax system. Think of the weight that these few have to bear. shouldn't we be more appreciative of the few that support us all? Shouldn't we give them a break?
Gives you some new insight into it feels to be Bill Gates, doesn't it?
