Why would inequality be the important metric, and not absolute quality of life? If we killed a few billionaires, there would be less inequality in America, but I don't think anyone's life would actually be better for it.
- slashdev 3y agoThat’s precisely my point. I don’t care how rich the 1% are. I care about my quality of life. I want an economic system that optimizes the latter, not one that reduces inequality. Communism is a great example of an economic system aimed at reducing inequality. What it actually achieves is making everyone equally poor.
