I do agree that something needs to be done about income inequality; it’s the symptom of a sick society.


How is it that you define income inequality? What parts of it offend you?

The current state of ownership in this country is beyond offense. Generations of robber barons’ descendants have been able to live off of trusts without needing to contribute one cent to the economy, the same ones which exert such a strong influence on our politics. Millions of dollars are stashed away in offshore banks, itself a major issue (just look at the Panama Papers to see evidence of that). Trumps tax reforms were a start, but don’t fully tackle the issue. Crony capitalism or otherwise, a democratic society cannot last with such inbalance.
