Well, I'm American and understand exactly what the OP is saying. A lot of the inequality is the result of inherited wealth, whether in the form of stock ownership passed down from generation to generation, or the ownership of land, that constantly increases in value whether because of inflation or decreasing amount of it. Don't oversimplify things with narrow and simplistic conservative free market bullsh*t.

  • It sounds like you're jaded because of some reason. You are completely full of shit if you think "a lot of the inequality is the result of inherited wealth". I am a 'have' versus a 'have not' and I didn't get shit. I know many people who are doing well and started the same way. Ironically, I don't know many (I'm sure I can come up with one if I think long enough so I won't say 'none') people who inherited anything material. It sounds like I need to hang out with your crowd to gain better perspective. Sure, there are such cases out there. How could there not be with a country of 300m+? But to say that a significant portion of inequality is due simply to inherited wealth is naive or simply stupid. I would stop believing what you see in the media. Learn from what you actually experience and observe, it'll serve you better in the long run.
