In many ways, Facebook’s story is the most modern example of the American dream gone right. Some would argue that those who have gotten rich from the company should pay some dues back into the system that enabled that success. As billionaire Mark Cuban has written on his blog, the ‘most patriotic thing you can do’ is ‘bust your ass and get rich. Make a boatload of money. Pay your taxes.’

Paul Higgins : Absolutely - Too many of the people that do well forget that the infrastructure that enabled that success, the education system that nurtured their employees, and the system that provides the ecosystem for them to be successful is built by the collective contributions of the people. Those that do well (sometimes by accident) should keep a disproportionate amount but at the same time contribute a disproportionate amount relative to the average
