Income Equality

According to a poll by the NY Times and CBS, six out of ten Americans say that wealth should be divided more evenly.  They say that only a few people at the top have an opportunity to advance.

There are a couple of interesting facts about this poll.  First, you have to think about who conducted the poll.  And, the same poll says that 60% of Americans are not in favor of raising the minimum wage.

It all boils down to, “I want government to take from somebody and give it to me.”  Not because I earned it or have special skills to earn more.

North Korea has income equality.

That doesn’t appear to work very well.
