The fact of the matter is that in a capitalism system there will be a gap between rich and poor, its how it is. The issue is that all people should be provided an opportunity to provide basic things for themselves (food and shelter for example). By offering a better quality of education all people at a younger age this can be worked towards so that people are able to do things for themselves. Unfortunately every country needs people to dig ditches, pick up trash and the like and not everyone deserves to own a boat or drive a BMW.

We know how they did it in Sweden. They turned a first world industrialized country into a third world country. They've pretty much done the same thing in France.
Right now France and Califormia have about the same number of people and land mass. Yet the GDP of California is about 5 times the GDP of France.
My policy would be called "mind your own business". Instead of being jealous and lusting after other peoples property each person would concentrate their efforts to improve their own lives instead of trying to make someone else miserable.

The tax thing would work pretty well, with the rich paying larger portions., but the best thing to do is to reform the education system so that everyone can gain the opportunity to advance themselves, also the changing of laws that target poor people than rich people

You can get rid of all the illegal aliens and give Americans more opportunities to find work.
You could also get someone who's had a tough life in congress or something. The people who are usually elected don't even know what it's really like to be poor.

We could always try that wild and extreme idea - LIBERTY.
As government grows, so does the gap.

without turning to a marxist system, I doubt it. I personally wouldn't mind going to a system where money is no more, and everyone has all nessecities. Whatever job you have entitiles you to certain luxuries. if you don't work, then you are entitled to nothing.
