US inequality of wealth....shocking statistics

[Master]

Inequality does need to be tacked in a fair and just society. People need to be provided the opportunites to move on in life and be a real part of society. Education, training and employment are ways to progress for the lower class citizens.

And in America they get that. The issue the lefties have is inequality of OUTCOME not opportunity

I would argue that the rich have the issue with this. They want their billions to go to their offspring and I disagree. It should all be taken away. In the end you are all equal again, so Paris Hilton, do what you can because if I'm in charge, there is no inheritance. If you haven't earned it, then we are taking it away from you. If your father hides the money away, then we will investigate as that will be illegal and you will become a normal person. Shoulda a studied at school, eh or become a high flight hooker.

so we want the government to solve this problem. Inequality of wealth is defined by someone making more than you.

It does not have to end there.

People who have access to better education, health and job opportunities maintain those and their children are likely to become the next judges, doctors and businessmen with relative ease. The same opportunities need to be made available for people that do not have easy access to them.

I just have very little faith in the government fixing things especially after they play a large part in creating them.

Governments have allowed it to continue, their job is to create these opportunities by opening up these institutions.

Walrus, your government is so incredibly corrupt, that nothing it says will work will actually work. We are at the point where the systems are useless and where only civil disobediance is going to kick start any changes. Basically people need to get bloody noses and arrests. It's the only way. If not then it continues unrelenting until we are all suffocated on this planet one way or another.

If the outcomes are even more inequality then the opportunities may not be there.

That makes total sense, read it again and try to understand it.

So where is the problem and why is it not working?

Close to 300 millionaire senators. About 300 people having more cash then 300 million others combined. Government's in the west have lost touch. Its like they are a totally different species. Canada is just as bad. At least US senators are elected. Harper is a gimp. The response from his office a week ago after yet another rail disaster was "we will discuss this emergency once parliament resumes next week"
