yes it is fair as they get 1/5 of the pie while 99% share 4/5's of the pie
not forgetting 1/10 own more than half the pie, while 9/10s have to share less than half the pie.

aspire to or greed ? doesn't seem this 1% or 10% are aspiring to anything but grabbing more of the pie, if they wanted to aspire to something and not greed they would be sharing more of it and not keeping for themselves.

did they teach you the concept of sharing and greed at primary school
