You may or may not agree, but my
opinion is that more income equality would benefit our society.

It''s income inequality that has made this the most powerful engine of
economic development in the world.

Who would try harder for the same money? Who would take a risk?

Three things go into making a successful company: capital, labor, and,
usually, raw materials. In most businesses, labor is not only the
greatest cost, but it is sometimes the easiest to control.

A prudent businessman pays his labor force the minimum each is willing
to take. In many cases, if he pays them more, they'll simply spend it
on drugs or buy a motorcycle and adios.

Eventually, even the riobber barons didn't get away with all of it.

....and that's the way it's *supposed* to work. If they don't pay enough,
someone else will. It's no different than buying veggies. If they're too
expensive you buy fruit.
