Quote from Scataphagos:
There is SUPPOSED to be "increasing disparity of wealth"... that's what should motivate the have-nots to become haves. It's the American Way.
Seems lost on scumbag politicos... that the "Haves are that because THEY DID SOMETHING THE HAVE-NOTS DIDN'T"...
DUH! Wealth and Income Inequality are not matters of "fairness".... It's not like there was a giganto lottery where by chance alone some folks got a lot and others got little.
Healthy economic society is SUPPOSED to be where some live in the penthouse and others clean toilets. If you are a "toilet cleaner" and don't like your station in life, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT TO RAISE YOURSELF UP!!
(Don't rag on me, I know of what I speak. Though I figuratively "live in the penthouse*" today, I was once a nearly-starving, nearly-homeless toilet cleaner.... and therefore have little sympathy for today's parasite class who always bitch that the government doesn't give them even more.)
I wouldn't want to live in an economy/society where there was economic/financial "equality".
*Was NOT "handed to me by the government in exchange for my vote"
