The Ghost of RubangB on 06 October 2010
I don't even care about shrinking the Gini coefficient. I just want taxes to be high enough to pay for a safety net so I don't have to see my neighbors starve to death. It's disgusting. In cold cities like New York they actually freeze to death overnight, and if you're unlucky enough to be walking home at 4 or 5 in the morning you actually have to step over frozen dead humans.
I really don't care about the gap between the rich and the poor on its own. As long as the poor can eat and not die, the rich can get as rich as they want and blow all their money on their stupid $100 cheeseburgers and $1000 pizzas and food with little bits of tasteless gold sprinkles in it.
