        Oh yes, go to the extreme and assume that better wealth distribution = communism. It's not. It's lower taxes for the people who are struggling to feed themselves and higher taxes for people who have 5 houses and 20 cars. In other words, it's having empathy for the less fortunate.

        Empathy, compromise, words alien to the average American. It's a society that cares more about heroes than compassion. The individual rather than the community.

        Here's the thing regarding US taxation...I've read the Constitution and the only equality mentioned is that all Americans should pay proportionately to fund our needs. Taxes were never intended to be a form of punishment for being successful or for redistribution of wealth.

        That's not what the Constitution says. Perhaps you should give it a read.

        Back to the 1800's? The Constitution was written in the 1700's. Your history is sorely lacking.

        Not questioning the numbers, but surprising income inequality decreased during the course of two wars.

        Yes! We do something right here in Europe. Inequality is NOT killing our society and economy. We still tax the rich AND tax the heirs. But even we have huge potential to raise taxes on heir to invest in education for all!
