[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1269027, member: 249"] I like where you start by stating incomes don't need to be equalized then end your statement about the need for incomes to be equalized. Look, the free market works as it works. It isn't always fair, it isn't always equal, but its the best damn system we as human beings have ever been able to devise. I know you think it doesn't "work", but let me give you some examples. Why does Walmart pay $17/hr. for new hires in North Dakota? Why is it from my very first job I took in 1998 I have never been paid minimum wage? Why don't you(assuming you aren't) paying your drivers minimum wage since you can pay them whatever you please? I will tell you why, the free market demands a higher wage and therefore it is paid as such. Some jobs just weren't meant to support a lifestyle of the rich and famous and not everyone is meant to be so. Its the unequal nature we as human beings are subjected to at our births simply because none of us are equally skilled or equally intelligent which in turn means unequal incomes and wealth. This is why I originally, and correctly, pointed out that this income inequality "issue" is a false one at best. Its a pathetic attempt to change our very nature which is a feat no politician can accomplish, but it sure does sound good to the dumb masses who are all too willing to hand over more power to the ever more powerful ruling class who are interested in everything except our best interests as free people.
