Income equality is a ridiculous goal. The entire concept is predicated upon the inability of its supporters to understand basic economics.

Uh - what?

You're telling me that you can't plot all incomes in the US and evaluate the gaps between those income brackets?

No one thinks everyone's income should be equal. But what we have now is an unlevel playing field that's tilted strongly to the 1%. This unlevel playing field has caused huge increases in income to the top while wages have stayed mostly flat for years. The working person is not getting their fair share of increased output and productivity.

Some earn more than others. Fact of life. Want fairness, go to Venezuela where everyone is equally miserable.

Of course it's the Republicans. They are a lapdog for the rich and rig the system in their favor. They don't even hide it anymore.
