Not at all.
The point is not in this. I could've used their income easily. The point is that the inequality is so crazy. What do you think is the combined net worth of the poorest one billion people? Do you think it is less, equal or more than the top 10 ?
Now remember that by numbers, we are comparing 10 people to the combined population of three USAs. Find a justification that would survive five minutes of philosophical debate.
I'm all for income inequality. I like to earn more than other people because I studied, I know my stuff, I can work hard and constantly learn. I like to be rewarded for being good at what I do.
But the rate of inequality is just crazy.
I'm ok with me earning 5 times as much as someone else. I'm also ok with someone better than me earning 5 times as much as I do.
But 500 times? You must be kidding.
