The point is that inequality causes a bunch of societal ills (crime for example), nevermind what the actual living standards are.

- insickness 7y agoInequality is not the cause of crime. Poverty is the cause of crime. Just because there is inequality, doesn't mean certain people have to be poor. Wealth is not a pie with a limited number of pieces to go around. Wealth is created. For example, you could fish all day and you've created wealth. This doesn't necessarily exclude the possibility of someone else fishing and creating wealth themselves.
