Thats where you are wrong, there is not "share" owed to them. Nothing is preventing them from building their own wealth other than bad financial planning and self induced debt.

People complaining about degradation of the quality of life in this country need to point fingers at what really caused it and the notion that people at the top are "hoarding the wealth" (which is not possible anyway given wealth is created and not finite) is not the reason. People are making less because someone decided we should allow jobs to go all around the world to save money and at the same time continually let in millions of low skilled, low educated workers who are willing to do jobs for half of what the natives were doing them for. I hear people saying "illegals do the jobs natives don't want to do". Well why don't they want to do them? Simple, the pay is crap and you can raise the minimum wage all day long but that's not gonna matter when farmer Joe hires day laborers who are paid scraps under the table. It's that way in pretty much in every industry to some degree.

It's comical that people think the government paying for it will somehow make those costs go down and not skyrocket even more same with healthcare. One only needs to look at how medicare is run to see our future on that kind of system.
