Income inequality is an indicator of freedom. You're damned right it's a good thing.

The large scale inequality of wealth is really a sad commentary on our current system and shows a real need for change. A good start would be to raise the inheritance tax to 90% for anything above 5 million so that everyone can start and compete on an even playing field.

Inequality equals freedom. Hilarious. I guess Turkey has a more free society than the U.S. since they have greater inequality. IF RWNJ's have their way we could soon overtake Turkey.

You are just jealous that some people have more than you and you lack the skills to make something of yourself. Otherwise, you wouldn't care and you would go about your business making money.

Not bad company. Chile has the highest living standards in South America, the Mexican middle class is booming and Turkey has one of the most dynamic economies in the Muslim world. Thanks for sharing.
