RE: income disparity

There's nothing particularly troubling about that at all, UNLESS political influence is utilized to unduly "rig the system" to benefit a[n]... interest...

Well, that's what modern, progressive government is all about, Mr. Green!

Someone has to ensure that the right sort of people get 'their fair share'.

But, please, don't call it "rigging" - that suggests something tawdry, and goodness knows, our legislators would never be party to anything tawdry!
