On the 7 train, there's a huge jump in income from the 111th St. station ($42K) to the next station, Mets-Willets Point ($100K). But if you look at the census map, you see there are only 56 people living in the Mets Willets Point tract vs 4,000 in the tract for 111th St. So it doesn't exactly work in every situation.
The most generous charitable people on earth Americans and I have been around friend lived overseas many years
Americans r hardly Marie antoinette
U want too much u want to badly u want everything for nothing. Windfall Joni Mitchell sing it
You seem to be deviating from the subject and going on about how charitable Americans can be--which I don't dispute.
What I was trying to get across to you is that regardless of your political beliefs or you concept of fairness, income inequality cannot be ignored. If it gets to the point where its so pronounced that say 3% of Americans control 95% of the wealth and land -- then we will likely also get to the point where that 3% will have to flee the country or end up with their heads on spikes.
It's in everyone's interest to reduce income inequality. Of course it can't be eliminated and some people deserve higher income without a doubt--but the disparity is far too high right now and its getting worse.
