You seriously think that it&#x27;s because the &quot;poor&quot; are &quot;suffering?&quot; If all you do is elevate the base income level, the inequality will still exist, you&#x27;ve just moved the slider on the scale. People will still want&#x2F;expect&#x2F;demand more. Witness the demonization of the 1%, listen to the inane demands of the Million Student March, and tell me that there&#x27;s even a token understanding of inequality in most people&#x27;s minds.<p>Especially in the US so much &quot;inequality&quot; is a First World problem.
