You either have A) middle class only where no one, no matter how hard they work, can never rise to a higher quality of life but are just simply sustained at "meh, I get by" or B) rich and poor people and a middle class. You hear people argue that they have more money so they should be taxed and then you hear people argue that they worked hard for that money or inherited it from someone else who did. There lazy people (sluggards, in the Bible, book of Proverbs, for instance) and then there are people that are poor because of no fault of their own. There isn't a cookie cutter solution to this and that is what we've been trying to do and failing on a global scale for centuries. |
Still, quality of life have been continuously evolving.

Norway, Demark and Finland all have a free market with some regulations, like most developed nations. I'm not sure what your point is? I never argued against having a free market. It has literally nothing to do with what I said. Do you think taxes transfer money from the poor to the rich, but at the same time you don't think taxes cause inequality? You can't pick one, the first implies the second and vice versa. If taxes take money from the poor and give to the rich it necesarily causes economic inequality (not the only cause, but it necessarily has to be one of the causes). |
Tax is part of the inequality issue, not even the main one, and reducing tax (since it isn't the sole cause) doesn't assure end of inequality since you won't control all other factors.
