I hate the income inequality arguments, especially ones against Capitalism.

Capitalism gives everyone an opportunity to become rich. There will be inequality, because some people are simply more talented/more motivated than others. But in this system, those who deserve to be on top are on top. It also allows for a strong middle class of hard working people.

In the history of the world there has never been income equality. Inequality exists naturally because nobody is born equal...we do not have equal intellect, physical capabilities, etc.

People who support Socialism tout income inequality as a problem..fact is that under Socialism there is still inequality. It just doesn't allow the common man to become in the top bracket of income..it makes everyone poor/low middle class and leaves Gov't officials, bureaucrats, and crony corporate businessmen rich with absolutely no opportunity for a regular person to reach the top due to policy that holds them down while protecting the elite rich class. This ideology is formed out of a combination of idiots with a victim mentality who are jealous of the rich that think through Socialism they can advance themselves up the social ladder rather than work themselves up it, and a combination of rich politicians and crony capitalists who look to exploit this in order to protect their own interests and power.

The ever increasing amount of crony capitalism and socialism is killing The American Dream in this country. We need a smaller more regulated Gov't and less regulations and corporate protectionism in the free market. Only then will you see the income inequality gap shrink. There is a reason that income inequality gap has actually increased under the Obama administration. Their policy and talking points are a huge lie and a scam. Unfortunately, a majority of people don't see it, or don't get it.
