My brother sent me this video. Its not supposed to be politcal, so lets TRY to leave politics out of this (but still feel this may get out of hand)

This was pretty interesting! I never would have thought things were that unequal lol

Watched that video last week or so. Crazy. Things just aren't how they used to be.

If you want politics to be left out of it, why did you post it in the politics section?

[tpunx99GSX]

because it has to do with the country and economics, opposing viewpoints on how this should be done. I didnt want this to turn into a this side or that side is to blame, but it fits here because of the different opinions usually based on political leanings.

Wealth inequality is a simple fact of life, some people work hard, some do not. This has been since the dawn of time. If you're saying we should somehow equalize all of this, that's been tried many times, and failed.

^That sounds like a crap idea.

Interesting. I wouldn't go as far as saying that having wealth means you work harder though.

Yeah, they could be lucky or just work smarter. I do agree that it is really out of whack, but it is another one of those things where there is no reasonable way to fix it. One thing that I am sure many are thinking is to tax them more and that would lead to issues of emigration, which has already been on the rise because of the latest tax hikes. Closing some of the tax loopholes is probably the first step that should be taken.
