America has many failings—our growing economic inequality perhaps among the gravest of them all.

Gee, koolaid much? In an otherwise delightful read. You know how to become less unequal? You work hard, you do for yourself, you don’t lay on the couch eating bonbons getting stoned and play video games waiting for your government check, you get educated, you have morals and Instill those in your children , you stay with your spouse when raising children, you don’t have multiple kids by multiple men who never stay around, and for heck’s sake, you don’t whine about how unequal everything is while doing exactly nothing to improve your life. And you don’t listen to democrats/leftists who use the unequal trope to get your vote while ignoring you the other four years.

BTW. Happy thanksgiving.

Much of your advice is excellent but there are still some concerns about wealth inequality. I, for one, am furious that Washington hoovers up our tax dollars and corruptly steals and squanders them. I am furious that the financial “industry” sucks up our hard earned dollars and pays themselves billions while giving us a pittance. NYC-DC is the AXIS OF EVIL!!

Yes but that’s not what the left means when they talk about inequality. And seriously, why should we begrudge anyone their wealth? Except for politicians they’ve probably earned it. Politicians are corrupt and should be punished severely. But Bezos having a Ton of money doesn’t really affect me or you or anyone. And if you think destroying his wealth will make others richer, you really have another think coming.

Wealth inequality is one of those buzzwords the left uses to rile people up to divide and conquer.

How many people has Bezos made rich? How many pension funds have Amazon, Facebook, Apple, or Microsoft stock.

How many people who have worked for and profited from those companies gone on to create their own organizations to do good in the world.

It's too easy to look at a single data point that paints people in the worst light ignoring all the good they do.

It matters when people like Zuckerberg and Bezos use their wealth to buy elections and then use that as leverage to increase their wealth and power.

I definitely don’t begrudge Bezos his money, nor do I want to destroy anyone’s wealth but I am troubled by the corruption in the financial industry

Then we need to elect better people who aren’t corrupt. And that means no democrats, ever, anymore.

I agree but am concerned the filth is so endemic that if you try to stand against it they destroy you. We have a difficult problem.

Well certainly they set out to destroy Trump from before the election. And so many people were okay with that. What they don’t realize is they want to destroy ALL of us who don’t follow in their lockstep. It’s going to take people waking up to the perfidy of the left. Look at pelosi. She’s as corrupt as the day is long. She’s enriched herself. She’s done wonders to destroy America and now she wants to move to Florida with her multimillion dollar mansion in Jupiter and why? No State income tax. Tax the rich she cries, but not me. Hypocrite.

So very true, and sad. In addition, her house will be swamped by the melting ice caps

Well, the good citizens of Florida can take Maxine Waters advice and get in her face wherever they see her and tell her she is not welcome. Make her life in Florida as miserable as possible. But getting past the wall (she will no doubt have around her house) and personal security may be tough.
