The only wealth inequality that is important is between the taxpayers and the government parasites. The parasites should have less wealth (0%) and the productive should keep more (100%) of theirs.
Yet there is very little income inequality.
Poor people spend their money on stupid things. The wealthy invest it.
Before anyone else ignorantly tosses the "communism" card around , maybe watch this...

When I started college, I had about $20 in my wallet and my bank account was overdrawn because I had to buy gas for my car. I worked my ass off, and now I live in a house with a $70,000 pool and I drive a Maserati. I never once asked anybody for "help" nor did I ever receive any.
Taking out an unnecessarily gigantic mortgage and car loan is still essentially the same thing as overdrawing your bank account for gas. You're just fucking up on a bigger scale. (Unless you paid in cash, then bravo!)
did you in all seriousness attempt to refute my post (about outdated graphs) with 2 of 3 graphs ending in 2007 & 2010?
really?
If taxes on the rich go up, they take their money and invest elsewhere (outside the US).
This has happened and continues to happen.
That doesn't make his argument any less true, it's just a half truth.
I can't stand it when liberals try to talk about wealth inequality and how the rich are so evil. If you're not happy being a broke bitch, work harder, and keep working hard until you're rich. Problem solved!
People who believe that they need "help" and "support" to be successful are people who will never be successful. Believing that they have no influence over their own lives or level of success means they're either lazy, stupid, or just shooting themselves in the foot with unnecessary negativity.

I welcome wealth inequality with open arms. It's what separates the parasites from the real men.
The problem here is the overemphasizing of tax rates on investment decisions by the wealthy. They are a factor, just not to the degree so many people are led to believe from the usual talking points coming from certain sources.
You might want to actually watch the video and actually read the comments.
Already watched it. I found it motivational.
You're welcome to believe whatever you want, but a forum of rich, hard-working guys is probably not the best place to break out the liberal entitlement attitude. To each his own.
