Should a janitor make the same as a rocket scientist? How is it fair that the doctor makes so much more than the lawn care worker? We need the government to fix this! What do you think? Is it time for mandatory income equality?

Of course not! Some income inequality is inevitable. It's the massive kind you find in less developed countries that you want to avoid.

Why, it's as if you think all of us liberals are communists. No conservative thinks that....No, wait.

fixed it for you.

forced income equality results in the elimination of the motive to better ones self. if being a janitor pays the same as being the CEO of a company, then why would one want the headaches of being CEO? or why would one bother with medical school if you could make the same money pumping gas, or fixing tires?

Why do you think ALL of us conservatives are: racists, anti abortionists, bible thumping, right wing idiots?

No wait

I don't think the government should force income equality, but at they same time I don't think they should promote policies, like trickle down economics, that promote and ever increasing income inequality.

This is simply because high income inequality is basically what causes Communism.

I think the right-wing media complex has captured your brain.
