That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.
Henry David Thoreau
Wealth is not a finite pile of cash from which we all draw. Wealth can be created or destroyed. Differences in wealth mean little, especially when America's poor are considered rich in other nations. Great differences in wealth are the result of a free society. The alternative is everyone being equally poor, except of course for the central planners!
I'll take freedom every time because I can set aside childish feelings of jealousy towards those with more wealth.

Best post yet!

No, dude... the concentration of wealth into the hands of fewer and fewer individuals in The USA is the result of paid for favoritism via a complicated pile of democrat inspired and republican perfected bullshit commonly referred to as US Tax Law.
With a fair and simple tax code and a law requiring public budgets be balanced, the distribution of wealth graph would resemble a smooth bell curve, with most of the wealth in the hands of most of the people and plenty of capital in the hands of the majority of the most industrious.
Only in Utopia, Joe. There are people driven to excel, people satisfied to live as well as their parents and people who want to sit on their ass and let the producers pay their way.
If you took all the wealth from the richest 100 people in the US and distributed it to the welfare class, in ten years, 90% of the formerly wealth would be wealthy again and 90% of the former welfare class would be back on the dole.

Which is why the Fair Tax Act would be the absolute best thing for the US. Not only would it be fair and would not tax anyone on the basic subsistance amounts, it would tax the incomes that are currently hidden from the IRS.

Anything that takes us in the direction of a fair and SIMPLE tax code, I favor.
A "fair and simple tax code" would favor the wealthy, since they already pay the greatest proportion of taxes out of all proportion to, say one half the American people who pay no federal taxes at all, notwithstandingtheir payment to payroll taxes (AKA FICA) which is a personal contribution for the partial cost of their own Medicare and Social Security accounts.No, dude... the concentration of wealth into the hands of fewer and fewer individuals in The USA is the result of paid for favoritism via a complicated pile of democrat inspired and republican perfected bullshit commonly referred to as US Tax Law.

I absolutely agree that tax law is unfair and illogical. I favor no income tax or if we must have one, a flat tax with no deductions for anyone.
I also agree budgets should always balance.
Would any of that result in less income disparity? Don't know, don't care.

Unless you live and work outside the US or you have plenty of assets outside of our economy, why the fuck would you not care?
Income disparity is something that will be with us as long as we have people involved. The point is to make as fair a market place to risk our efforts as possible.
Is fairness in the market not almost as important as freedom?
