“What he is saying is that he would rather the poor be poorer, provided the rich were less rich. That is the liberal policy.”

“Once they start to talk about the gap, they would rather that the gap were that [indicating a small gap] down here [indicating low], not this [indicating a larger gap] but [indicating a smaller gap]. So long as the gap is smaller, they would rather have the poor poorer. One does not create wealth and opportunity that way.”

— Margaret Thatcher

fact is, you can be a dog catcher in Chicago and make more than almost all teachers or nurses or cops in other states...

truth is, all you need is to be a govt lackey...
