The Fallacy Of Income Inequality

By Ryan Carvano(L)


The Bernie Sanders Campaign sent ripples through the DNC and the entire country in all fairness. How can a white-haired Christopher Lloyd looking Socialists change the narrative for so many young Americans? If you paid attention, you may have heard free college, and end income inequality as the trademark of the Bernie Sanders campaign. However, what the left and its surrogates don't tell their young and passionate supporters is that income inequality is not a bad thing. Liberal economists such as Joseph Stiglitz preach that the rich are getting too big of a slice of the money pie and are taking it from the little guys. He also notes how the income inequality gap is worse than in most South American countries. To be fair, I'm not an economics major from MIT, but I can distinguish between wealth and political inequality from income inequality. What Liberals don't know is that income inequality is actually a sign of capitalistic progress. If the top 1% are making 5x their present income and the 99% is making 3x their income technically that would cause a 2x gap in income inequality. You might actually have some brain cells and realize that this was a good thing! Everything is based on production in a capitalist system which recognizes that its participants are not perfect. There is a reason that the wealthy are wealthy, they are good producers. You see in a market people compete for to sell the best product at the best price, and naturally there will be those who succeed and profit and those who fail. Now, part of the Sanders narrative was that this wasn't fair, and that the American Dream is rigged in favor of the top 1%. In my opinion, sobriety, ambition and hard work are all things you need to be successful in this country. 
Our current generation is in the façade of  mediocrity and complacency. In this world it's all wants and no work. We have coddled the less fortunate with state welfare, food stamps and other government benefits. This breeding of complacency has brought about this socialist movement where all your wants can be met through the money of others. A society where the wealthy pay global wealth tax and whose children loose their inheritance to the government. In brutal honesty, those people who have adopted the socialist credo exhibit a wide array of human mental deficiency caused by the nurture of the state. These people lack the imperative  drive to work and become rich, they are at odds with the inner workings of our free market economy. Our founding fathers said that all men were created  equal, in doing so they recognized that humanity is perceived as imperfect. Let's go back and see all the great inventions that were created here all possible do to the benefits of the capitalist system. These people profited from their hard work while others found varying degrees of success and failure. So, when people complain about the income inequality gap they are really complaining that other people are just harder workers and more dedicated. Who is to blame? We've established that it's not the fault of affluent Americans, so who is it? The government is the problem, they've developed a political inequality in which the lazy rely off government programs. This is like a 21 year old snowflake still clinging to his mother's bosom sucking other people's hard earned cash in order to maintain mediocrity. I leave you with this, try working hard for your own money and I guarantee you will no longer want to line up for "bread" because it will be lining up for you.
