I would like the Leftists to explain the term "income inequality." What is it? How does it occur, and what should be done to correct it?
In your posts, please discuss wealth, wealth distribution, wealth creation, and the moral issues involved in creating wealth, which would include the right to own property, and the right to the fruit of ones labor, and the exclusive right to ones intellectual property.
You may also want to answer the following:
How does one improve ones standard of living; i.e., rise from poverty to middle class, to wealthy?
How should one put their money to work?
What does it mean to own stock?
What obligations does a company have to it's employees?
What obligations does an employee have to his employer?
Consider income equality where everyone in the population earns an equal amount no matter how a person earns it versus income inequality where people earn differing amounts depending on what people are willing to pay others and/or what payment people are willing to accept from others.
I didn't realize that income inequality was something to be corrected.
Now the degree of inequality can be a problem in that if there is a large degree of difference in inequality then most of the wealth of an entire population can be tied up into a small portion of the population. If one believes that the economic growth of a nation is based on consumption; then a small portion of the population can only consume so much. And, if the majority of earners can only consume staples, then a whole lot of potential consumers of luxuries is wasted, and economic growth suffers.

I object on the ground that most conservatives do not support the right of poor and low-wage workers to own property i.e. the premise of this thread is deficient.

You can buy property... Or do you expect property to be given to you. If you can't afford to buy you should be thanking the rich after all the governments answer are those high rises. If it weren't for real estate investors you would have two choices, live in the streets or live in government high rise.
It sounds like the OP is trying to get help with his Economics assignment... Shame on you OP.
Nope. Not taking any economics, and I wouldn't consider "Income inequality" as a valid topic for an economics class, because "income inequality" is stricktly an invention of the Left.
