I'm not outraged. Can you 'sense' the amount of wealth Bill Gates has? Try. Is it 10 billion? 100 billion? What organ do we use to sense the 'distribution' of wealth as we go about our business? Close your eyes real tight this very minute, and try to sense the current distribution of income/wealth in America...in Bangladesh.
I appreciate Sanders as a principled politician, but I don't agree with his worldview, not in the least. There is nothing in my understanding which permits me to accept a vision of our economies where wealth falls from the sky unabetted and is then 'distributed.'
Sure enough. If enough of us are convinced that the economy is something like a static poker game with a set number of chips, cheater's-take-all, then I guess we could build ourselves...mankind's latest failure.
What is 'the' wealth?
I see the argument for laws and inserting the state when Bill Gates starts showing up and buying children and eating them and so on.
But the size of my slice of pie is not impacted in any way by the size of Bill Gates slice, no matter how big his slice grows. In fact, in my line of work, quite the opposite. His slice of pie has created all sorts of opportunities for me.
I see no evidence of a singular 'The Wealth.' There is no Pareto inefficient side effect, one made less by another's gain, that is attributable to the amount of wealth anyone has earned or created.
The real problem facing this country, and the major issue with wealth inequality is not that some create too much, but that others create too little.
