| S.T.A.G.E. said: Its quite simple, if the income gap stretches further, there will be some sort of vocal backlash within this country and it will cause a forced reformation. Just saying. |
Forced reformation? Sorry, but I don't believe it will happen. The only way to ever fix the income gap from continuing to grow would be to tax the rich much more, and proceed to redistribute this wealth to the "poorer" people. This ought to go over really well (I'm sure some people would just love it).
The ironic thing is, if you do something like this, many of the people that originally complained in the worst place would be worse off than they currently are (according to economic theory). But, since all people seem to care about is that it isn't fair that their neighbors make more money than they do, perhaps they would be happy in a society where more wealth is redistributed to the poor.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
