Compare this to nations in Central Africa, Venezuela, China, India
Where the poor are so skinny and starved, they already look like dead corpses
Weath Inequality isn't directly linked with poverty
@Chemar There's a show called This Week
Andrew Neil and Michael Portillo, along with some guests
Portillo basically destroyed this guy who thinks everyone should change to Finland (despite Finland having a similar population to London alone)
Portillo explained that many numbers which show wealth inequality are misleading as it doesn't take into account the fact that many people of the lower classes are moving up to the middle classes
Better answer
Who cares about wealth inequality
If every american from the lower class can afford a house do we care?
No
If they can afford a car do we care? No
Its only apparently when they cant afford it then we care
Does everybody really need a yacht?
U can easily sink boats to the bottom
But you cant expect all boats to be equally leveled
The reason we don't care then is because there is no issue present. If everyone could afford a home, car, and health care we wouldn't care because those people would be fine
@Techpriest Where do you fall economically??
^^This touches more on social consequences
@Techpriest thatβs a solid point. If everyone can afford a house and a car then I think the anger being the income gap and wealth inequality would die down. It would from me at least lmfao. I donβt expect a drastic change like the rich into the middle class. But I think if we could bring the lower and lower middle class up, by any means necessary it could happen.
Which is why it wouldnt be important
If the richest man can buy space ships
If the poorest man can buy a house and car and live in it his entire life
Thats the dream
Wealth inequality isnt inherently bad
Its what the rich people do with their wealth
Government simply do not know how to manage money
They ask for 2 billion for a high-speed train in 2012
And now they want 10 billion for a train that is smaller now
And there are literally asshole billionaires who dont actually help people
Bill Gates for example has been a deterrent to the economy of Africa for years
How can Africa ever hope to stabilize when there are free stuff that keep pouring in for no reason
Did India ever get asshole billionaire ruining their country after their independence?
Ofc not
Without asshole 1%ers India was able to be self sufficient
And now emerging economic superpower
