[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 6041433, member: 56035"] i think the wealth gap is already too much because princeton years ago said the bottom 70% of the population have no influence over the politicians, and its alll sharply concentrated at the top. at the beginning of return of the jedi, darth vader is giving out orders no different than a capitalist for the construction of a death star. i think this scene is partly a critique of capitalism. you think about it, we have quotes like "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." and then you have [USER=24302]@vantexan[/USER] as a christian man defending rich people. based on that quote, it sounds like you can either be rich or enter the kingdom of god, not both. what would levels of equality would satisfy that quote? read these christianity quotes, and it mentions freeing the oppressed, freeing hte prisoners, forgiving debts, and the truth setting you free, and then you got vantexan doing willful blindness to the truth which negates all 3 of the other things i mentioned.
