It's not about jealousy, it's not about wanting what you have, and it's not about wanting to have things handed to you-- it's about having a more cohesive society where opportunities are available to anyone who works hard. Everyone should have the opportunity to pursue meaningful, profitable employment... but it just doesn't exist, at least, not on the scale that it could if society were equal (of course, this is the point where some genius inserts their personal anecdote/success story as if it somehow proves this isn't true).
Boomers who grew up during more equal conditions cannot appreciate how much the policies they voted for have destroyed opportunities, and created a climate in which the haves need to keep everyone else down in order to maintain their lifestyles.
2. Cut corporate taxes to 10%
a. buisnesses will locate to those nations with skilled workers and lower tax rates
I really don't think that this is a more enticing package than slave labor in foreign dictatorships, because they will still have to deal with unions. If America somehow manages to make itself more attractive than slavery it will probably mean that America has finally become the slave market that corporations love so much.
A better approach might be to reverse trade agreements that lower tariffs for corporations that use slave labor and then ship the products back to America. The way it is now, they get the wealthy American consumer base AND the cheap-as-dirt foreign labor market... they shouldn't be allowed to have both.
There's no doubt that inequality is a reality in this country. Are conservatives concerned about it?
Community education.
Destroy the corporate structure, as it is today.
A corporation is not a person. They are the profit center for the government. Structured to create monopolies and cartels, with price fixing.
Inequality was, is and always will be part of the human condition. It's not unique to America, nor is it unique to this time period.
Inequality has nothing to do with the human condition. I highly doubt that you have knowledge of any humans beyond a handful of your fellow Americans, so you're not exactly qualified to make those kinds of pronouncements.
The issue here isn't that everyone isn't making the same salary, it's that the gap between rich and poor is too wide. The gap doesn't need to be completely eliminated, it just needs to be narrowed.

No, I'm not concerned, because wealth is something that is created. It is not finite. One creates wealth for themselves by working, investing, and handling their finances wisely.
This whole "income inequality" meme is Leftist propaganda, used as an excuse for income redistribution schemes; i.e., increasing taxes on the so-called "rich."
You cannot help the poor by confiscating the wealth of others. That is immoral, it is theft, and it is wrong.

Well, if that isn't a smug and self congratulatory answer!
Hope you're enjoying the 48 room Tudor Revival McMansion with the six car garage to hold the Lamborghini, Rolls and other cars you own ... satisfied that those poor suckers whose jobs were outsourced by corporations aren't working hard enough by holding down two jobs.
