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. Â

Want another stat? MS is the US's poorest state. And MS has around the GDP per capita as the United Kingdom. Â
US is 4% of the world's population but 27% of the world's GDP.... Â

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?Â

Depends on the level of readjustment. Small increases in tax, no impact. Large increase, yeah I think it would have significant impact.
US is also top 15 in average standard of living. The point is too many have a flatly inaccurate view of US life.
