3) The wast majority of wealth in the US is old money, as in people who inherited. People like Google, Microsoft, face book and apple are extremely rare and do not represent the majority of the very wealthy. The majority of the extremely wealthy are more like the Rockefeller, the Bushes, the DuPont. Fortunes made on raping America's natural resources hundreds of years ago.I am sorry, no all rich people are stupid and dot keep a cushion. They can afford to have a big cushion, that's what makes them rich. The risk occurs before they are rich. The risk is taken by the middle class in order to be rich. Once you are rich, a fall is far less difficult, because being rich means you have something to fall on. What does the worker fall on?
4) That does not answer my question at all. Who in a company dictates how much a CEO makes? It's not a difficult question to answer and it's pretty circular. Who decides on how much profit an owner keeps instead of paying these coal miners who are breaking their backs to make these people a fortune? The fact that there are more coal miners, doesn't somehow make the fact that they are breaking their backs to make a fortune for the owner is fair or just.
5) Now I need you to define wealth, because this is getting ridicules. Something that does not have value, because it is owned by everyone, cannot be wealth. Also, you can not accrue an abundance of anything, when everyone owns the same amount. Without value, wealth is just hording. Look up the meaning of wealth and hording if you still need to 'wtf' that....
