i agree with you about the tax system being broken, im betting we differ on how the tax system should ideally be, but im definitely not saying that there isnt an issue.
as far as my source goes, i posted it because JenniferGarner said the rich only become rich by inheriting their wealth, which is false.
now when it comes to wealth inequality, whats worse? wealth inequality or wealth equality? personally i think too far to one direction is a bad thing, I do think we are too far on the side of inequality, there are a lot of factors that contribute to this, greedy businessmen wanting to make money is not near the top of that list. i dont think anyone would argue that the Bill Gates, Sam waltons, Henry Fords, etc.. have done anything but great things for this country.
at the same time its supply and demand.. while we need the Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and Henry Fords to supply us with what we want, there would be no steve jobs if the majority of the nation were too poor to afford an ipod. there is most definitely a balance.
but id much rather have too much wealth inequality than too much wealth equality. this quote pretty much describes my stance..
"Freedom and equality are sworn and everlasting enemies, when one prevails the other dies. to check the growth of inequality, liberty must be sacrificed"
id rather have the freedom to be rich than be guaranteed equal wealth.
