We get all your bullshit Amerian TV shows

I did a web search by typing in 'growing wealth disparity.'

Started to write down the addresses after reviewing them and realized there were exactly 18,531 adresses to review. It is a bit late to review them.

Everybody knows the rich have grown richer, which is great with me, while the poor have grown poorer and more numerous, which is great with p0ink and many others.

Since I knew you wouldn't show any evidence, save your assertion that "everybody knows", how about simply analyzing your original statement.

If there are more rich now, then that means there are more people who are rich who were NOT rich at one time. How is this bad? It seems to show that opportunities for wealth are greater than before.

Looking at census statistics on income shows that incomes have increased over that past decade. How is this bad?

Because there are outliers on the scale (those who are below the poverty line or unemployed) does not show a problem. There is no reality where everyone is employed and or successful; income redistribution does not alter human action.

Reading a recent magazine article showed that human ingenuity can overcome almost any obstacle. A former corporate big whig, who spent time in prison for an illegal business scheme, is now contracting out his service to aid other corporate big whigs, who are prison-bound, to prepare them for prison life. His fee is $150/hour.

Someone recently sold a French Fry on Ebay for $200, claiming it the largest fry ever.

Anyone can make money, they simply must try.

Hahahaha! That's pretty funny and it proves a point (not the following paragraph, though).

I think there is also one disparity that causes class differences - a disparity in knowledge. Some people are taught how to gain credit, operate in the business world, etc. Some are not. This knowledge increases upward mobility. There always must be a disparity in knowledge for capitalism to operate. It's a good thing.

Notice I said disparity - the least knowledgable need not be total ignoramuses.

that's like me assuming all fucking australians are exactly like ben hogan and the crocodile hunter on the animal planet.

What is your problem with Australians? What have they done?

I've always wanted to check it out but it costs more than a few pesos to see.

Correct. This is the limiting factor in man. We want all men to think, and think properly, but we know that this is not the way it is and there is nothing that will change this, for each man is independent and not a construction paper cut out.

No, the whole country doesn't look like the few sections you see on COPS...

Well, maybe all of Houston, but the rest of the US is cool!
