<p>Thanks, @MiddKid86. There really was no disrespect intended at all. </p>
<p>With respect to income inequality, those who speak out against it are not claiming that everyone needs to have the same income–the problem with income inequality is that it is growing–that in this tepidly growing economy, most of the gains from the growth have gone to a very small number of people at the upper end, and those at the lower end have seen no growth in net worth or even a decline. In other words, a rising tide isn’t lifting all boats.</p>
<p>I’ll leave it at that, to avoid this discussion getting too political. But this article has definitely misunderstood what the recent concern is about income inequality.</p>
<p>Erin’s Dad, if you want us to avoid political churn, perhaps it would be best to avoid posting pieces from an outlet with such an obvious political agenda. Just a thought.</p>
<p>Anyone who believes that a model of income eqaulity is superior, then should not go to college. Simple, straightforward and will make the life for the rest of us much easier (I meant for those who do not believe that the model of income equality is a successful one). </p>
<p>…another suggestion, those who feel guilty being rich, I accept money in any shape or form. I promise, I will not feel guilty if I have few millions.</p>
