It's not inequality per se, but the size of the inequality, that's the point.
I don't care if I earn eleventy gajillion times less... that is on ME... it is not the job of government to do anything at all to help equalize outcome.. only to allow all of us the freedoms to succeed or fail all on our own, apply to any job we want (not get it), quit for whatever reason we want, be free to ask for more money (and be prepared for the company to use their freedom to say yes or no)
This thought that government is supposed to pat you on the back, make you feel better, make companies pay, etc is fucking ludicrous
It is if they want to avoid massive uprisings.
Another red herring.
You could open your own fish market.
