Incredibly Stupid Trumpkin Letters to the Editor Dept: Income Inequality - it's just the way it is!
Fucking moron.It's mind-numbing listening to the elite discuss income (wealth) inequality which has existed since societies exicsted. I'm unaware of a society where disparity didn't exist. Equality of outcomes is unnatural and utopian. Each human is uniquely gifted translating into unique and at times unequal outcomes. Government should ensure that its norms, laws, rules and regulations allow all citizens to pursue their uniqueness not their equality.
The Declaration of Independence acknowledges this: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
Fixating on income inequality is divisive and unproductive. America's economic, religious and social liberties have captured the imagination of the world. Economic mobility is magnetic. The ability to pursue your dreams with limited intervention is intoxicating. The focus must be on the elements of opportunity like culture, education, laws, regulations and the enforcement thereof. The Constitution balances individual uniqueness with societal need for tranquility and "general welfare."
Inequality relates most to access to quality education, cultural and family factors and commercial scale meaning globalization contributes to this disparity.
