  • @blubroc I have yet to see equality. I see balance, but it's not the same. Some up, some down, some left, some right. It seems that humans define our existence through conflict, be it pushing against a door to open it or killing one another on a battlefield. The extreme is just as common as the minor. We tend to test our limits, as a curious adventurer, and we don't always know where it leads, unless we also see the consequences of those actions. So, what is best for all?

  • Nature gives and takes without asking. It is truly balanced, but civilized societies claim to be better. This cannot be farther from the truth. The native tribes from where I live used to have no jails, no lawyers and no criminals, because the only law was the creator's law. Humans defied the creator and made their own boxed-in systems to control one another, for their own gain. They in fact betrayed the creator and their brethren by deceiving them. This is what you see, today. Slavery.

  • We cannot continue to defend a mindset that thinks there is good Inequality and bad Inequality. We're merely hiding behind the facts in that we've created a system which feeds off those who are struggling while we accept and allow some to live like gods, and others die of starvation and live on less than a dollar a day. Inequality is Capitalism - a bad virus that keeps breeding terror. Stop defending the current money system of abuse. Investigate Equal money .org

  • Eliminating tariffs and barriers to trade will only exacerbate income inequality, just as it already has over the past 60 years.

    The only long-term answer to eliminating poverty and income inequality, both here and abroad, is to repudiate all of the high-interest Federal Reserve and IMF loans which are continuously bleeding the entire World Economy dry.

    Usury is never sustainable; until this practice is once again abolished, income inequality will continue to grow at an exponential rate.
