Democrats rant and rave about income inequality yet I never hear of them giving up there income to equalize this so called problem?

Structural distribution has nothing to do with one person personally giving up money. In fact, the problem with wealth disparity wouldn't be solved by having most of america give up some money.What people are concerned with is the billionaires who pay no taxes and have no accountability. And this has very little to do with Democrats or Republicans. They are all working for the same people with the same diners. Don't be fooled into thinking that this issue is about middle class people living with less to help the poor.

This is about the obscenely rich not contributing. And while you're at it, don't be fooled by the "job creator fallacy." People that rich don't create tons of jobs with hoarded money. Economics just doesn't work that way. Money in vaults (that 100 billionaires hoard) creates no jobs. Middle class spending creates jobs. Create a bigger middle class, eliminate poverty, create healthcare for all people, make education accessible to more people, and then you will have amazing employment rates.

The issue with income inequality is that we have a VERY few people - as little as 100,000 - who control a VERY large portion of the wealth - well over 50%.

Back in the 1950s, the average CEO made 50 times what his average subordinate did. Now that average CEO makes close to 2000 times as much. Back in the 1950s, we had a solid economy. Now, not so much.

Coincidence? I think not.

The AVERAGE single person income is $34K. 50 times that is $1.5 million. That's a perfectly wonderful wealth-sustaining income. Why anyone NEEDS more aside from to 'prove' they're better than everyone else is beyond me. More than that just takes pay away from your employees... who are ULTIMATELY your customers as well. And if you're customers are all BROKE, then they can't support your business.

My understanding is that a major claim of conservatives and republicans is that democrats are the poor that receive handouts from the government and thus are not those people you claim them to be. Which is it? The poor that receive handouts, or the rich that only pretend to want equity? If it is actually both, then your question has no meaning because it does not reflect the reality of the party membership.

Not so. I eat in restaurants a lot and it is not unusual for me to tip 50%. THese are young people going to college and trying to support themselves on a wait person's salary. I do not donate to charities because the rich greedy CEO's involved grab the money for themselves. It is what I do-- help kids get through college. . Should I do more? Of course, we are better. God doesn't make junk, Sweet Pea.

This is what Communism is all about.

Most will be equally poor, while the members of the "ruling class" have the best of everything.

Sorry, no butter, meat, toilet paper and your shoe size,

Come back next week, "wink, wink"!

Do college professors teach the truth about life in the U.S.S.R. before Reagan said, "TEAR DOWN THIS WALL"?

Don't think so!

Now you know why calling a democrat a "socialist" or "communist", and why calling media "liberal", is all a pile of conservative bull----t. Your media, your politicians, are all hungry capitalists.
