Default Re: Why \"x% of people have y% of the wealth\" is irrelevant.

Great post Boro...just wanted to add something for everyone to think about.

I often hear about the gap between rich and poor getting bigger.....What is better?

Choice 1) Rich people all have ten million more than they had last year...poor people all have 10000 more than they had last year. Net result rich to poor gap grows by almost ten million.

Choice 2) All rich people have 10 million less than last year...all poor people have 1 dollar more...net result rich to poor gap is smaller.

Do you socialists really want the gap between rich and poor to be smaller...or do you just want to stick it to the rich so they are a little bit closer to the hardships of being poor.? Be honest with yourselves.
