Is the rich getting richer a problem? Sometimes. Certain rich individuals and companies donate to charity, while others (probably most?) do not.


Is balanced taxes the solution? Yes.

Well put!

The US Economy has been on a 30+ year slope where the poor are getting poorer and the rich getting richer.  And yes, it become a problem.  Sometimes it makes a problem that people don't realize, like the obvious crime, but others like health problems aren't so obvious.

Tuberculosis was almost wipe out in the States, but came back largely to AIDS and the homeless - now their are new resistant strains.  You wouldn't think that closing down a homeless shelter would cause the resurgence of a disease, but it did.

To put it in gamer terms, if people don’t have the money to buy high end consoles, then this neg generation will not be much of a step up from this one.
