Income Inequality Growing

[imre1000]

So if a guy that makes $100 million / year moves into the same city as me - is this a good or a bad thing?

Ironically, inequality is the widest in socialist / collectivist countries where supposedly equiality is mandated. Like Venezuela, Bolivia, Mexico etc.

@imre1000 Mexico socialist/collectivist? WTF! What alternative reality are you living in? Mexico has flirted with fascism throughout it's history and right now it's a war-torn country with a govt corrupted by the money and violence from powerful drug lords. Good Lord! Wake the fuck, dude! If you're going to make comparisons, then make intelligent comparisons such as between the US and Germany.

ALL incomes have increased the past twenty years.  You don't care about a floor for the poor as long as there's a roof for the rich.
