Talking about income inequality is almost like talking about height inequality.

Unless we are installing communism, of course experts, managers, scientists, professionals, CEO’s etc are going to make “more” because their services are valued higher.

Even discussing this is discussing communism pure and simple. Obama is a Marxist. As is almost all of the democrat party.

And their revolution to destroy America, fragment society and install communism is reaching the tipping point. Free Speech is just about gone, Freedom of Religion, etc.

That isn't quite correct. Even under communism inequality is inevitable due to Pareto's Law. Over any appreciable amount of time, wealth will arrange itself in accordance with the 80/20 power rule. The same is true for about anything that can be said about any biological systems. 20% of the pea pods in your garden will produce 80% of the peas. That's it. This is a corollary to the laws of thermodynamics. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that can be done about stark inequality.

We conservatives have to get this point. Whatever else can be said about the progressive agenda, trying to achieve equality of income or wealth distribution is truly tilting at windmills. They might as well try to repeal the Law of Gravity by legislative decree. It ain't gonna work.

And we conservatives fall into this trap that progressives set for us over and over and over again because - well, I don't really know. Why is it that conservatives don't know or maybe don't care about Pareto's Law?
