Okay, I'm confused. Let's say a billionaire owns ten mansions, 3 Gulf Stream Jets, drives a Bugati and a Rolls, has an antique car collection, dresses to the nines, homes are furnished with furniture to match the style of the homes, buys original artwork, owns hundreds of throusands of shares of IBM, AT&T, Microsoft, 3M, Caterpillar, & Hallmark Cards, purchases a great deal of expensive jewelry for his wife, sends his kids to Harvand and MIT, etc., etc., etc.
What does any of this have to do with rewards for success for those who are not wealthy? He may have provided employment in the home building if he had any of his mansions built. He may have had remodelers do the work in others. He helped employment in the private jet manufacturing industry, he has helped auctioneers who auction older cars, he has helped artwork dealers or art auctioneers, he helps employment at the Corporations for he buys stock, he helped jewelers and he help two higher educational institutions. He also helped clothing and furniture manufacturers and retail stores. Not only did he help all of these people, but there are tons of other people who were indirectly helped. For example, he may have helped people who manufacture faucets since the mansion he built has to have faucets and they may have been part of his remodeling. Also, he may and probably does give hundreds of millions to charities or is a patron of the arts and provides millions to art galleries or the local symphony.
I don't see where any of this is bad. I don't see how this billionaire's success impedes mine or anyone elses. I don't see where this person's riches minimizes anyone's reward for success. Sorry, but I fail to see your point.
As for having to have a reward attractive enough, what are you saying? If you are saying that some see welfare as being better than working, I understand that; however, that is why we need to end doling out money and not tying assistance to achievement. Not everyone will become a millionaire, but the poor can end up living a life of what is considered middle class. It takes following virtue and not vice to do so. When I say virtue, I mean things like personal responsibility, self-discipline, tenacity, hard work, frugality, and other virtues. Rewards may not come tomorrow morning, next week, a month from now, but they will come for those who practice those virtues.
