Serious question... [b]why is "inequality" a problem?[/b]  The pie continues to grow faster in the U.S. but the lifestyle of the "poor" in the US is better than the middle class in most countries (and yes, that includes Europe).  Simply looking at differences in wealth doesn't really say anything about a society.

I don’t necessarily like how PP phrased it but I agree. The goal should be equal opportunity and supporting the creation and maintenance of a large middle class. Not that everyone should have exactly the same house, same salary, etc. [/quote]

Nobody is asking "Why doesn't everyone in Montgomery County have exactly the same house and salary?" If you want to argue with Nobody, go ahead.[/quote]

County leadership is saying that. Since they passed the racial equity law, we strive to ensure race does not predict outcome and as long as there are disparities in any measure, we are failing.[/quote]

Every word in your post is factually incorrect, including "and" and "the".[/quote]

"Racial equity is achieved when race no longer predicts life outcomes."

"The County Council tasked the Office of Legislative Oversight with describing lessons learned from other
jurisdictions that have made racial equity an explicit goal of local government. These local governments
have adopted systems designed to eliminate racial disparities in both opportunities and outcomes."
