I think if you dnt have it it bc you dnt want it or you been extremely unlucky... Like myself. Bad choices and lost oppurtunities are something of a curse..
Do you think welfare like universal health care, disability benefits, improved pensions, unemployment benefits and higher minimum wages would improve the situation?
Curiosity norway, yes your exactly right! if we introduced these things by heavily taxing the rich (some of which we already have) there would be much less wealth disparity but the thing is that the more of these things we have we start to go into the realms of economic socialism and then communism in which there is much less wealth disparity but everyone is poor due to the fact that the closer we get to socialism then communism the less incentive there is to work and become rich throgh providing value to the economy and provide servises and make product. taxing the rich very heavily simply does not work. An example of this is sweden whose population enjoys better standereds of living and is better and its citizens are richer than the US and has more relaxing tax brackets set upon the rich.
@lllAndrewlll, Norway, Sweden and Denmark are social-democratic countries. They're not communism and hasn't become it yet either. The system works very well.

Ahhh America's is quietly becoming a third world country
I’m more concerned with income distributions then wealth. That said I think a $10 million exemption on estate taxes is probably sufficient.
The sun king "worked hard" for his unequal wealth distribution too...

So we could all be billionaires, if we just wanted to be? I doubt it.

Maybe. Probably.

@lllAndrewlll According to this, individual taxation levels reach over 60% in Sweden, 54.4% in San Francisco (the highest taxed place in the US, presumably), en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_countries_by_tax_rates

It's a rich get richer society. The funny thing is the poor like it that way!
I think you should get a fucking job and get off welfare and make your own fucking money instead of taking mine
Not every jobs are paying well, not everyone gets a job and not everyone have a good health. Medical conditions are a thing. So not everyone can work.
I enjoy the kind of books with no words.
