What is your opinion on Wealth disparities?

Post by Corey-FS »

Hello everyone! I am curious about your opinions on wealth inequality and the resulting topics which stem off from this.

Edit: For those worried about wealth inequality - do you desire wealth equality? If so, why, if not, why?

Wealth inequality is irrelevant, it's about keeping the lowest people on a decent lvl, then it's completely irrelevant how rich the rich are.

Only very stupid and not-so-bright people see this as a factor.

What's with the biblical quotes? Is it about disparity (which is a very big deal) or Christianity (which is irrelevant, given that Christians very obviously and traditionally don't care about disparity)?

There's no way anyone can be "worth" a billion times more than someone else. This is pure insanity. They didn't work a billion times harder or smarter. They're not a billion times nicer or better at basketball...

My opinion on wealth disparity: No one should be a pauper who regularly does his work diligently. That's the real issue, in my opinion. I couldn't care less if Jeff Bezos have a mansion or two. The people who work for him should have reasonable accommodations.

My opinion on 'wealth inequality' is that wealth, itself, is NOT equally shared.

But what 'wealth', itself, actually is; is another matter.
