Why is it important to reduce the gap between rich and poor? After all, the gaps in intelligence, skill, and motivation between different people is very large, even in the same family.

Though I don’t agree with the arguments the left makes about wealth inequality my study of history shows when the gap becomes too great between haves and have nots it raises the potential for violence and rebellion in a society. You can look all the way back to the ancient Greeks and see this.

Now the question is what do you do about this fact. I don’t really have an answer and I’ve been thinking about it for a long time.

Liberals are tryign to reduce that gap too by lowering standards for not so intelligent, and not so skilled folks-

This shit never gets old with these people. Every year this is released by the same commie think tank right around economic summit. Duitfully the fake news runs with it.
If 2100 people have more “wealth” than 4.6 billion people it then becomes obvious that people have not yet produced enough wealth to go around. The 4.6 billion better figure out something to do to produce enough wealth for the rest of them. Perhaps, working, farming, inventing, starting as business, hunting, fishing, and countless other things would be a good start. Imagine if 4.6 billion people each managed to produce $30,000 worth of goods an services how much more productive and wealthy the world would be. I suggest they all get off their ass and start doing just that. I will do the same.
