But if it is such a big problem, any measure that makes it less severe ought to be welcomed. Thus, reducing the income gap by halving everyone's income would be seen as a step in the right direction, even if better solutions (like increasing the low salaries) exist. The fact that slashing salaries is obviously bad suggests to me that income disparity is not so very evil. As far as envy goes, as long as people are eating mud I could not care less about someone who feels sad simply because they are not the wealthiest people around. As for the thoughtful web, three cheers.You seem to be arguing that we should fix income disparity
Far from it, I am not convinced that it is a problem that needs to be fixed.You know what I mean. Income disparity is a problem in the sense that poverty is a problem.
Poverty is a problem, I get that. What is the connection to income disparity? Is it your belief that The rich get richer and the poor get poorer?
