How can wealth inequality be reduced effectively in the U.S.?

Answer 1

See, how Mr. Warren & Mr. Bill Gates, are setting examples of "ideal capitalism." We may NOT be able to do the same "at their high level," but, each of us, at our own levels, do earn something - we don't like to live on dole, do we? So, we must do a little bit of "discrete" charity work, as per our own capacities to earn, for those, who are NOT as privileged as ourselves. But, each case, must be weighed on its individual merit, discretely.

There are NO free lunches!

But, genuine & discrete charity to the deserving? YES, go ahead within your capacity, "one and all!" All those of you, who reasonably can. Wealth inequality MUST be reduced to "prevent the rise of corruption." But, every social good requires proportionate resources, and this "inequality reduction" can be done by ALL people with "various useful" resources, at very many levels, including salaried people, enterpreneurs, corporate houses, social and non-governmental organizations. Government, of course, is always expected to chip in "optimally moderated contributions" for infrastructural and social requirements, basic essential services, wherever private bodies are NOT able to help, for lack of adequate resources.

Answer 2

am not sure what you mean by "wealth inequality". When people say "wealth" I always think of the millionnaires and billionnaires that have been made by a large percentage of the population being employed, the world market as in investing overseas and importing/exporting, and having enough jobs to send overseas so that the rest of us could expand our knowledge thru our colleges/universities.

There is such a thing as "competition" that keeps the world alive today, and it's a good thing. When you say "wealth inequality" it sounds to me that you're saying everyone should make the same wage, or that you want wealthy people to stop being wealthy. There are many educational opportunities out there today to get a better wage in any career of their choice.

Answer 3

There's an over burden of taxes on the middle class, they receive less in medical treatment than the poor plus they pay for the poor to have medical treatment. Take tax pressure off the middle class and tax more heavily the so called extremely rich (Billionaires) Monopoly's happen always at this extreme level of wealth and that is against our governing system for sure.

Answer 4

It can't be reduced while letting everyone keep their freedom.

By allowing anyone to own and manage their own business, we are always going to have wealth inequality.

The only way would be for the government to completely take over business, which would also take away freedom.

Answer 6

Uhhh..I think you're in the Wrong country to be talking about redistributing my money that I worked my -as--of to earn. Don't need to reduce inequality of wealth. You need to go to college, and work your a--s of like I did, 80 hr weeks, earning a lot of money at a huge sacrifice! Then, when you've given up years of recreational time to be wealthy, just write a check to the local homeless shelter, and YOU give your money away!
