Lets say everyone put in the right combination of education, skills, discipline and work ethic would everyone be earning $530,000 in 2015 dollars (the minimum income of the 1 percent)?Originally Posted by mac

Also, technology would have to improve as well to rapidly increase productivity.
The truth is that there will always be poor. The economy is like a machine. It needs workers that do menial tasks. Even if everyone got a PHD somebody would have to clean the toilets.
It pretty much is.
Government exist for whatever purpose the rulers chose it to exist for. Nothing more and nothing less.
Anything else is hypothetical or philosophical.
I live in realty.
That, plus a little cronieism, or dumb luck, or celebrity, or corruption.
Well, you also need skill and hard work to be rich. Most successful people are not bad at all.
It is not improving as fast as it did earlier in our history.
And our government should not be in a position to mandate that the toilet cleaning guy get paid as much as the Junior Executive in a private company.
And you.... are okay with that????
So you don't care what positions a candidate takes on issues, or what type of representative your area needs because those in power are going to keep grabbing more power at their leisure?
Do you stay home on election day?
Or, in this proposition... are "The People" the "rulers"?
If so... do you believe our government should be a pure democracy then?
