Notice that government run schools teach the poor mans mindset? They teach people to go to school to learn how to work for someone else. They don't even teach people about money. They don't teach the difference between assets and liabilities.
It seems that people with a poor man's mindset lean left. The poorer the mindset the further left they lean with the exception of the liberal elite who are majorly benefitting from increasing the number of poor people.
Yes. That's what DIDN'T INHERIT THEIR WEALTH means.
I know what that statement means. Were you implying that ALL were entrepreneurs and innovators? Don't know what your arguing here.
As far as the OP goes, having the huge income disparity is bad for the overall economy. That's basic Economics. A healthier Economy would have more money circulating to the Middle and Lower income brackets.
Income inequality is the natural state of an economy.. The two decade era of so-called shared prosperity, after WW2, was brief and unique, due to unlikely to be repeated global circumstances. Income inequality has been growing since the 70's.
Funny how the OP only mentions the Koch's. What a blatant sheep. Under Obama's form of capitalism, all HIS cronies are getting richer while we ALL get poorer. Again, this what the Left is up to:
The rich have been outpacing everyone else for 30 years. The trend long pre-dates Obama.

It seems that people with a rich mans mindset tend to lean right because they understand how money works.
The left encourages the poor mans mindset and is making more poor.
Both Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are for greater income equality and higher taxes on the wealthy.
This will never change because of the way people feel about money. You can take every single dime away from the 1% and give it to the poor, and the 1% will get it back again and the poor will be poor again because money always has been and always will be an "issue" with them, and a lot of people here know what I am talking about.
Please don't dash yourself on the rocks about this. Look into it and you'll understand.
That's not true. Many of the ultra rich simply inherited their wealth and did not create it themselves.

So exactly what are you doing to improve YOUR circumstance or are you actually hoping that the government will make you rich?
Democrats are just feeding off your jealousy for their benefit. It is impossible for the government to make you rich.
If you have a dollar more than I do ,give it to me. I deserve it because I said so.
