- H8crilA 6y agoImagine (at current buying power of the $, including rent and everything; not saying that this is or isn't realistic) that everyone who's employed makes at least $100k/year, and unemployment is below 5% again. But at the same time there are pockets (perhaps even sizeable pockets) of people that make shit ton more. Do you think so many would be angry at the system? The point is while "technically" (via some precise mathematical measure involving the entire wealth or income distribution) the inequality may be huge, if you can feel safe you'll not be very angry. "Safety" involves really basic things: shelter, healthcare, food, social purpose.
