It’s not shocking that under Biden, we fell out of the top 20.

    I hope that anyone reading this that does not have the mind of a child understands that concern with economic inequality is not about jealousy or anger that rich people exist. It does not come from the belief that rich people have taken up all the wealth so that nobody else gets any. These are foolish mischaracterizations.

    A certain amount of inequality is a good thing: it inspires people to ambition and industry. Beyond a certain point, it is an indication that there is a problem.

    It is a symptom, it is a sign: of a giant market bubble about to burst, or of political instability- not necessarily leading to revolution, but possibly. If you don’t believe me go ask any French nobility you can find. I’m sure they’ll talk their head off about it.

      It’s about jealousy. Logically whining someone has more if just silly. I’ve done fine even though Elon has done better. It’s not hard to be successful unless you sit around whining someone else has more. Too many people focus on what other have rather than focusing on their own success and happiness.

      It’s why liberals are so unhappy. They just want to steal from others rather than create their own success

          As long as people have enough, it doesn’t matter. We are not starving in this country.

              I’m also educated, intelligent and I did the grind. The younger generation isn’t any of that. They complain about things like working 40 hours and having to go to an office. I did exactly what the republicans said to do and I was rewarded.

                  Why do we need to grind? Why do we need to work 40 hrs and go into the office? Why do we need to endure toxic environments for success? If you don’t understand the benefit, then don’t complain when you feel you’re not getting your piece of the pie.

                  It is social Darwinism, survival of the fittest. Those who won’t adapt, die off.
