Joe is ambitious , Obama wants to spread the wealth.
Should Joe become a civil servant ?
You are ambitious, you are some sort of civilian airplane repairman. Do you make $250,000 a year? Should Joe follow your example, or shouldn't he?
Of course, if you are a Civil Servant, you can forget about buying out the boss.
I am guessing that you will need to give up on the $250,000 ambition as well.
