LOL. Income inequality isn't the only measure that people use. It honestly doesn't really give much of an answer, because have most of the wealth redistributed doesn't help all that much. While there are things to improve in terms of improving the quality of life for everyone in the US, you haven't really provided any data for why the US in one of the worst places in the world for inequality.

Also, your stanford study link was a 404, so I dunno what I'm supposed to do with that.

LOL "no data", type "USA inequality" in Google, open your eyes dude, it's right in front of you

The U.S. ranks around the 30th percentile in income inequality globally, meaning 70% of countries have a more equal income distribution

And no, income inequality isnt the only measure, wealth inequality is a better measure which you will also find the USA performs near the bottom, all this is often the result of systemic inequality in many areas, The US also does poorly in many other forms of inequality some of which I listed in a previous post

I would say the bar to comfortable living is a lot lower than the top percentage of income in America. America does a lot for their poor population, it just is also one of the biggest captialist countries in the world, so that 'inequal' pay gap is to be expected.
