My beef with “income inequality” is even more basic.

Personal “income” is an outcome - of one’s working to maximize your value to an employer and one’s effort in supporting yourself.

Arguing for “income equality”, therefore, is arguing that everyone should make the same amount regardless of their effort to better themselves. It is communism, plain and simple.

America was founded on equal opportunity - not equal results.

Im not an expert in communism but I dont think all workers receive the same wages. Even in the USSR more highly educated and trained were paid more and received greater benefits. This whole income inequality BS is just a ruse to fleece the “rich” to give more money to RAT supporters. If they really wanted to reduce inequality they would focus on the poor/absent job skills and education of the lowest classes of the multigenerational welfare addicts.
