Sure, there are some rich people, but again, compare the Gini index for Switzerland and other countries such as the US and you will see the different dimension:
Why are you failing to understand that it's in our federal government's best interest to foster much less equal incomes under our much more progressive tax structure?

Without that progression the US would rank even worse than it already does.
No, it is not meaningless. The cost of living may be higher in California, but so are incomes.
We are talking about averages for a reason...
No, I have said nothing like that, thus no need to provide proof for the statement you have put into my mouth.
Rich people have their tricks, they can afford tax accountants who know how to keep tax payments as low as possible.
Not that old crap again. There is nothing socialist about universal health care...
Again, universal health care is only available in countries that have a much LESS progressive tax structure.

Incomes will not equalize until taxes do. No one is going to continue to pay more while earning less.
Liberals, put your money where your mouths are. Equalize the tax burden distribution to that seen in Switzerland, etc.
I think the basic guaranteed income is the way to go to help low wage workers and all Americans.
I think it promotes laziness with no desire to succeed.
