Whoops, I assumed that if you were a part of the aristocracy that you would be rich.

The merchant class isn't a part of the aristocracy, and they were the ones with the cash...

Well alright.

They were the ones who made their own money by working. The aristocracy stole it from someone else or forced others to work for them while they got drunk.

Granted, the aristocracy wasn't always great, but it isn't as if a lot of them didn't do work for money. For example, do you think a CEO of a company should be paid less than the average line worker?

How is it possible to compare a CEO with the aristocracy?

An aristocrat got his position by birth. A CEO has his position because of his ability, experience and previous results.

The aristocracy was illiterate. A CEO is usually very well educated, or, usually if he has built his own company, has a wealth of experience.

The aristocracy took their position by force. A CEO is there because someone wants him to have the job.

And the list goes on....
