ps- if you only make 10k a year, you're damn right you need a second job, or a better first...you shouldn't expect others to pay the way for you. (which is what you are suggesting with your sarcasm)

Since you feel the rich have no obligations for the welfare of society, would it be fair to say that I am entitled to be unsupported in matters concerning their welfare?

p.s. If the world was fair and everything was equal the word rich would be undefined.
