You are just plain wrong. Also, social mobility is preferable to inequality. Inequality is terrible on many levels. Everyone is poor – low inequality (1) Everyone is middle class – low inequality (2) Many poor, few rich – high inequality (3) Theoretical cases, not observed in the real world: Few poor, many rich – high inequality (4) Everyone is rich – low inequality (5) The metric of "inequality" only scores well with either poverty (1) or average outcomes (2) in the real world. Is that socialism or communism? I forget.
