If you could abolish income inequality, or poverty, but not both, which one would you choose?
Scenario #1: Income inequality has been abolished, but poverty remains.
Scenario #2: Poverty has been abolished, but income inequality remains.

You can attempt to do either at the Point of a Gun. A famous Commie said something like that I hear.
That’s an idiotic question. I refuse to participate.
Poverty, obviously. Income inequality doesn’t hurt anyone, but poverty can.
Of course, that is what Conservatives and Libertarians have been trying to do all along - create opportunity for all.
Liberals, Progressives, and Socialists on the on the other hand want to eliminate income inequality - they want everybo
Sort of my point... you want income equality and you get poverty... you can’t have both at the same time.
It is something that happens but the majority of the sheeple don’t understand or believe.
I would ban falls alternatives and and all use of stupid premise
“Would you rather pimp my blog or be in before the Zot?”
I would not abolish either one. (I did not read the article.)
It’s a dog eat dog world, and you can either work hard and succeed, or lie on your butt and starve AFAIC.
It’s time to rid the country of welfare as a way of life—in a lot of families, it’s been that way for generations.
It’s long passed time to cut this stuff out.
Women having kids out of wedlock? The kids’ should immediately go to a government run orphanage to perhaps be adopted out—or to go to a mandatory school when they’re old enough, where if they do the work and graduate, they may have a chance in this life.
Some might do better off in trade school—and we do need well trained tradesmen.
As long as we are paying large groups of people to have babies out of wedlock, we will never conquer this problem.

That's the best answer, but in keeping with the thread, I'd have to know, first, which side of the "income inequality" I'm on before I answer.
“I was all for Obamacare, before I knew I was the one that was going to be paying for it.”
Somehow, I think that’s the correct answer to this condundrum.
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Article 1 Section 8. The Congress shall have power . . . To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveriesThere is no way to enforce equality of result without imposing tyrannical limitations on the ambitious. And such limitations would be felt first in the loss of initiative for progress, so progress would wither on the vine. Worse, as Tom Peters’ In Search of Excellence instructs us, failure to try to progress does not merely stagnate but will actually reverse progress.
In the last two days you have posted 11 threads with no response on the threads from you.
You obviously have no respect for Free Republic posters as you seem much too elite and important to engage in conversations with us.
Which also shows that you don’t think your posts are important enough to support with communication.
If you are really interested in getting interest in your threads perhaps, in the case of this one, you could post the results of the poll every time change occurs.
If you do not do that, don’t expect any respect shown to you by those that you disrespect by just posting threads and being-obviously—much too self important to engage in a little back and forth with the posters here at Free Republic.
If you just want hits to your blog, you are on the wrong forum.
It’s *still* a RuPaul fan. What do you expect other than abuse of FR posters and forum? It hasn’t hit “Reply” since Dec 5.
Who controls the language controls the debate. Let’s agree that income equality, as with every form of legislated “equality” means the lowering of all income so that we are all equally miserable in our collective income level.
So try rephrasing the question so that it seems legitimate.
I would be in favor of minimum wage for Congress members and their staff members.
Of course he doesn't have any idea what is posted on his threads as he never looks back at them.
Liberals are so full of themselves they don't even see the picture, much less the BIG picture.
Oh and here is where he got his name:
Looks like he can't decide if he is a d*** or a butthole...grundleWeb definitions
The Man is always right.
Most liberals would choose to end inequality, even if it means everyone is poor.
Heh. That’s a good laugh for the day. It’s inspired me to get started on the laundry and assembling some snacks to take to work this week.
You, sir, are one of my heroes.
“Probably bloggers. “
Obsessed much?
