What’s behind inequality?

Individual said:
Equality is something that requires diligent, and constantly active pursuit beginning at birth, and is only achieved at death.

Perhaps the simplest answer to the OP question, "What's behind inequality?" is in a word, EFFORT.

3 things are behind inequality:

1) God made some Einsteins and some not
2) international trade makes some who now sell all over the world very very rich
3) liberal programs which amount to war on the poor make some people very inequal.

1. Even Gods are imperfect, leaving it to the individual to compensate.
2. There is a price point which results in maximizing profits as a result increasing consumers equal to production.
3. Subsidizing non-producers results in a cost to all, while the money will always flow to the sources of the production being consumed.

there is no way to compensate to for not being born with a brain like Einsteins 1+1=2

"There is a price point which results in maximizing profits as a result increasing consumers equal to production."

Okay, here you are:
There is a price point at which profits are maximized, as a result of increasing consumers to equal production.

And, increasing the price above that point would likely turn away enough consumers to result in a loss of profits, while lowering the price below that point would result in a loss of profits if production could not be increased without increasing the costs.

And doing very well with 97% employment thank you. Were it not for liberal anti business policies making it hard for our companies to compete, wages would be skyrocketing. Oh, and when liberals invite 30 million illegals to compete with our workers do you think the affects the wage level?

Wow, you completely misread my post "US workers were now competing with people who were working for pennies on a dollar". First income inequality is real and has grow over the past few decades. The OP was claiming that it was due to Ronald Reagan. I was simply countering that by stating that globalization and technology were (as far as I'm concerned) the two biggest factors causing it. By no means was I bashing the US economy, which is by far the greatest economy in the world. Regarding liberal policies I would say they more to increase the cost of living than wage suppression. Regarding globalization, yes I completely agree that it can work both ways. Not only is there the competition of companies shipping jobs overseas but flooding our domestic labor market is bad economics as well.

You do what you can with what you have.

yes, if you are born far less intelligent than Einstein you have to make do and accept your inequality rather than hire liberals to get you compensation.
 
Cynical said:
Globalization and technology are easily the two most significant factors that drove wage inequality.

I can play guitars, bass, keyboards, trumpet, trombone and baritone.

Can you?

If not, then inequality exists.

Should we waste $Millions teaching you a skill you cannot possibly learn, or should we just cut off my hands to make us equal?
