No, of course not. And not everyone can be Bill Gates or wants to be Warren Buffet. (Well, they want his dough but they don't care to work for it.)

The thing is that everyone, no matter how lowly their position, should be able to live a comfortable life in the wealthiest country in the world.

I guess I am saying exactly the same thing that Rilgin said above.
