Whats the big deal? This is normal for a free capitalistic society.

If I go to a crap table and bet 10$ a roll and a guy beside me bets a 100$ a roll and we win ten rolls in a row. Your going to show "income inequality".

Wow....never thought you'd agree with me on that one. But what do I know about B5?

The public corp model is wrong on so many levels. Especially if we start with the fact that we allow them to exist because they benefit society....or do they? Because if they harm our society, why should we allow them (under the public corp model) to exist?

After all, that is what a democracy is all about....for the better good of society. I honestly don't believe the model is good for the businesses themselves. At some point, we're going to be left with a few very powerful corporations and few choices for consumers.

Anyway, you agreeing is a pleasant surprise.

Real World

People need to consider that in the 17 & 1800's there wasn't a welfare state, easy credit, a fiat currency, massive federal government, big corporations, employee unions, EPA, regulatory xyz, MIC, complex tax code, etc. It was an entirely different world compared to now. Sheer mathematics will always point to a growing gap from the highest to lowest earners. Consider that the starting point will always be, and always has been ZERO. That will never change. From that point the only way is up. We've gone from millionaires to billionaires, and some time in the future we will undoubtedly have our first trillionaire. All the while the base point will still be ZERO.

The real issue isn't the disaparity between rich and poor, as you will always have both. The issue to me is the condition, or prospects, of the largest group which rests in the middle. That's where the focus should be. To me, larger government, the welfare state both corporate and social, and foolish monetary policy are what hurt that group most.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897

1860 and 2010 miss the dates I'd really want to see; 1880 and 1950.

This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”

The more intelligent, creative, educated and hard-working one is, the more you're rewarded.

Hey everyone....guess what? We're NOT supposed to have income equality in America.

Bet some of you forgot, huh?

If you make tons more than me, good for you! If you make way less than me, you don't have my sympathy...it is what it is.
