The surest way for Dems to reduce the wealth gap would be to collapse the economy
By Jack Hellner

Democrats are obsessed with wealth gaps. Someone making more money than someone else is always a problem for them and they are getting loud about it.

Now, if that's something important to them, what they can do is focus on ways to allow the poor and middle class to move up the economic ladder through economic opportunities. More people earning more money is a sure way to reduce significant inequalities, and it's not rocket science.

But don't try to tell them that. Their solutions always focus on making the greedy government richer and more powerful. For them, it is always about taking away from the private sector, instead of expanding it.

It's worked every time it's been tried.  Look at Cuba, Venezuela and just about any Socialist shithole in Africa.

And yet somehow, the government always ends up deeper and deeper in debt afterward.

The wealth gap expanded greatly during the Industrial Revolution from approx. 1850-1900. It was also the period of the greatest increase in wealth of average Americans in history.
Some people aka the usual suspects really believe that people's wealth should grow at equal rates. That never happens.
Today we have super, super rich people, but the standard of living of the average American is better than 90% of the very well off of just sixty years ago.
But the usual suspects can't stand it that capitalism has raised  more than half the world's population out of dire poverty in the last fifty years. For them the glass is always half empty.
