Honestly you seem too far gone to even have a conversation with on this subject.

When even the global elite are finally having conversations about income inequality, you KNOW it is a major problem. One of these days you will catch up.

If you want a functioning economy and society, the masses need to be intergrated into it. I'm sorry you disagree, but that's just the way it works. People like you clamor for the "good ol days" without even realizing that the 1950's saw the most equal incomes in the history of the World and the rich were taxed at the highest they ever were.
So what is your plan for the rich people

Not even close. Wow its sad about how far off base you really are. I don't own ANY gaming system,I am 30 and married with kids, We rent our own home and hope within next 5-7 years to buy one. I don't drink alcohol but appreciate the offer. World owes no one nothing. People should not have to be forced to be fair and give everyone a fair chance but obviously government has to. People are inherently evil and republicans and the 1% even more so.

It's not about "rich people" per se, it's about fixing the systematic corruption and getting rid of the corrupt institutions that plague our economy like a tumor. We can start by auditing and dismantling The Federal Reserve system and their too big to fail banks and instituting a currency and financial system for the people.

This disgusting collusion between government and corporations make me sick to my stomach.

Did you know that congress is legally allowed to participate in insider trading? This means that when senators know they are going to pass a law that benefits a corporation knowing that the stock will increase, they can legally purchase that stock prior to doing such favors. If you are I had that knowledge, and we acted on it, we'd be spending some time in prison.

Our government routinely sells us out to corporations, and I'd like to see some of these guys go to jail for it.
Absolutely. The majority of Congress should be rotting in prisons.

I have an idea. Let the progressives raise the tax rates, and then come PERSONALLY to my home to try to collect them PERSONALLY from me.

The government also has no business supporting people who will not work. Take away all of the entitlements for everyone and see what happens. Now, we have people who want more. They want what others have. That is what income inequality is all about. Take from the people who have made something out of themselves or inherited and give it to those too sorry to work. Try to take it from most of us, and see what happens.

The reality is, there will always be winners, and losers. Utopia does not exist, and no amount of centralized planning will make that so. And if you think it is only republicans that are the problem as far as politics in this nation go, then I have some swamp land in Arizona to sell you.

Yes, but the amount of people gaming the welfare system is overstated and at a historic low. And when you look at the corruption and waste throughout the system as a whole it is a drop in the bucket. I mean, how can you complain about welfare waste but not about The Federal Reserve creating out of thin air TRILLIONS in US Dollars since 2009 and giving 95% of it to less than 1% of the population? If the Government gave Trillions to poor people, you probably would have been revolting even though they would have spent it more and sparked the economy. Money is money.

It is not even possible anymore to receive cash assistance as an adult with no children. Soon it will be impossible to receive food stamps as an adult with no children or disability. The VAST majority of people on welfare are children and the elderly.

I dunno, I kind of like being part of a society that at least attempts to take care of those groups. Don't worry I can assure you that the Government and Federal Reserve take care of the VERY rich and powerful A LOT BETTER.

Nothing I can do or say will make you feel differently, but maybe you would change your mind if it was your own Grandmother or child that needed a little help.

talk about flip flopping. firs you say that no one is owed anything, then you say that the government has to make sure that everyone gets a fair chance. so which is it?

as for your last sentence, again talk about being way off base.
