![]() How are Keynesian policies responsible for income inequality? Same question regarding QE too. Be specific too ****stick. None of your typical bullshit "free market. mises." BEP style rhetoric. |

Back to the original question which kind of triggered my long windedness.
I would probably argue that the gap is not the biggest it has ever been but, the gap itself is nowhere near as relevant as what the Standard of living of the Middle class on down is. The argument can easily be made that the Average person has a standard of living at an all time high. Bigger houses, Better cars, More varieties of foods, More entertainment and information. better health , more of a safety net for the less fortunate. Let’s say that Direckshun makes $250,000 a year and I make $25,000 and the government implements or repeals a policy that puts $50,000 more per year in direkshun’s pocket and adds $4000 to my own. The difference between our incomes is now even greater but I’m better off. If we changed this scenario to something that brought his income down to $150,0000 and raised mine to $28k the gap would be much smaller but, I assure you I would choose the first example over the 2nd because what I make matters to me and what he makes does not. |

Note: I said we were a representative republic. That means people vote for their reps. reps who don't know, let alone follow the Constitution. However, elections do make us a democracy per se. You have your definitions skewed. Oh and you're hijacking--AGAIN.

Don't tell me what to do, neo-fascist. You don't own or run this board.

Okaaaay! I'm back. Donger, whether or not we're a democracy or a representative republic is not relevant to needing the people to change. Either form, requires people who haven't bought into central planning or entitlements.

There is only one true way to eliminate income inequality and economic mobility and that is through force. Now what ideaology condones that? You are trying yet again to get people to side with or at least agree with this ideaology without actually calling it that as it would automatically be stigmatized.

Income inequality is not a problem if lots of wealth is being generated. Lack of income mobility is a problem, and that problem is usually government hamstringing businesses and preventing people from entering the market reducing competition for the already entrenched.
