@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

@Gerry

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??

@Techpriest that’s 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 don’t 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

Okay wait, multiple of those claims need a source

And most of that is bullshit

The only reason India is currently an economic powerhouse is because they’re selling their workers to China and getting major investment from China therefore invalidating your point of investment halting sufficiency @Techpriest
