Interesting that you bring up political language. "Income inequality gaps" is political language. Who cares if some guy is rich and some other guy has much, much, much less, but still has a car, small house, enough food, etc..? People with political system motives care about that, and not really helping desperate people. A system that cycles people around from being poor to rich based on merit is not a good system, because merit is essentially arbitrary (beyond deliberate antisocial behaviour). Essentially, absolutely, a luck of the cards of who you know or who you gamed to think you have merit? Pretty cynical with obvious ideological connotations..especially the anti-social behavior part. But having people fight to put a roof over their head is just nonsensical in wealthy countries like the UK/USA. You use the word "fight". Fight would presume that there's some motivation involved. Many people increasingly don't have motivation and are copping out with "disability". It's a holdover from the Industrial Revolution and the wealthy's desire to force people to labour. Wealthy people tend to supply the jobs, but they don't have the guns to force people to do anything. The government has the guns to force people.
