I'm sure most of the one percenters get up each morning and wonder, "How can I employ the most people and give them a meaningful life?" Just after they have that thought tucked away, they wonder, "How can I help our country best deal with all the issues facing it?" I'm sure. I once worked on a project where the owner of a construction company claimed to have built a bridge. BS! a dozen or less men worked ten to 18 hours a day, seven days a week,in hot, cold, rain, and snow to build that bridge and he wasn't one of them. The money didn't come from him either; it came from the taxpayers. In their off time the men wondered how they could deal with constantly being cheated on their pay checks. GD
I had an uncle who made a lot of money. You know, the proverbial "rich uncle." Your first question, "How can I employ the most people and give them a meaningful life?" was his motivation. He felt since he could he was obligated to provide good paying jobs for his crews.
