Well okay, this joke of a response clearly shows how a serious discussion with you is out of question. You simply tout the same old lines that you've dropped ten pages ago. Which have already been spoken about, but you can't even bother to adress anything that's slightly uncormfortable to you. Great debating style, man. 

Please.  The debate isn't going anywhere because you (and many others) want to ignore 50% of the population pays 97%.  You (and others) want to ignore the US is dominating world markets.  You (and many others) want to paint the US as being some struggling falling behind country, but the reality the US is top 15 in most categories and has an absurd amount of upward mobility.  You simply want to paint the US as something it is not.  

edit

Want another stat?  MS is the US's poorest state.  And MS has around the GDP per capita as the United Kingdom.   

US is 4% of the world's population but 27% of the world's GDP....  

But stock value is not the point. We are talking about power distance and the imbalance of wealth. Are you really making the claim that the US would suffer if the wealth was better distributed?
