[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The poorest US state (Mississippi) will soon surpass the richest EU country (Germany) in GDP per capita. All other US states are ahead:

I've lived in Europe before. There's an old saying: The US is a great place to be rich, and an awful place to be poor. Europe is a great place to be poor, and an awful place to be rich.

But that statistic doesn’t address inequality. What is the median wealth/income in both places?  America has some extremely wealthy people that mask the huge number of people in poverty doing averages. [/quote]Having more than someone is not inequality. People who are lazy and less intelligent than I am do not get the economic benefits of being equal to me.

If you want equality where incompetent people are given the same wages as competent, then you should emigrate to a communist country.

You will also get a government that murders and imprisons people you do not approve of.

There is no pesky constitution to give people rights that might cause inequality. [/quote]

DP. That's the very definition of inequality. However, it's best to keep in mind, "Each according to their need. Each according to their ability." If you are able to work, that's great, but that doesn't entitle you to anything. The needs of those unable to work are often greater![/quote]
