There IS no problem. It's a divisive, manufactured issue to make the low information voter think they're being hosed.
Your neighbor works harder, makes sacrifices & makes more than you? Then get off your ass and work harder. Make your OWN sacrifices.

All the rich liberal democrats like most hollywood stars and politicians should show by example and give all of THEIR money to the poor then we can talk about income inequility.
Respectfully, you’re dead wrong.
There is an inequality issue. However it’s something that’s been created by the failed 50 year long social welfare experiment (and by the 80 year long New Deal) called the Great Society/War on Poverty that’s frozen a permanent, government dependent underclass in place.
Rubio is absolutely right on the: Dem programs help people “deal” with poverty and being on the wrong end of the equality equation. But they also keep, indeed trap, them there instead of providing ways to escape upward.

The city slaps you with a fine because you don't have a taxi license.
I agree. There is no problem.
But I will say, I don’t mind them tackling the issue, because democrats will continue to pound this point, relevant or not. I am worried about how they intend to tackle it though...
