Why even use the word, "deserve"? It seems like this is a pathway to entitlement. Wealth is created, not distributed.

- vannevar 11y agoWealth is both created and distributed. No one in modern life creates value in a vacuum, it is always in concert with many other people, past and present. And aside from governments, no one makes their own money---they get it from other people, in proportion to the value that those people perceive they're getting in return. And this value exchange all rests on top of a system of laws and culture, none of which is in the direct control of the individual. On a day-to-day basis in modern society, wealth distribution is a much bigger force in an average person's life than is wealth creation.
