Anyone can do anything in this country if they do it with their own resources.
Really? Well, then, let's see you flap your arms (using your own resources) and fly like a birdie.
Or let's see you bench press (using your own resources) a ton of weight.
Or let's see you build a skyscraper, using your own resources, in your backyard.
Or let's see you, using your own resources, buy up all the stock of Microsoft Corporation.
You can proclaim fatuous platitudes, or you can deal with reality. I know which one I prefer. It seems you prefer the other.
The real cause of income inequality is that people who lay on their ass taking dope and playing video games want to have an equal income to those who get out and hustle.
You don't think the kid who dropped out of high school and got busted for selling pot should make the same as the kid who worked his way through college?
Except for the mentally or physically impaired we all have an equal chance at wealth. With a few minor exceptions of course.
Someone with twice Bill Gates' ability, but lacking Gates' rich lawyer daddy, could never have founded Microsoft.

Wake the fuck up, people.
In 2010, as the nation continued to recover from the recession, a dizzying 93 percent of the additional income created in the country that year, compared to 2009 $288 billion went to the top 1 percent of taxpayers, those with at least $352,000 in income. That delivered an average single-year pay increase of 11.6 percent to each of these households.
Still more astonishing was the extent to which the super rich got rich faster than the merely rich. In 2010, 37 percent of these additional earnings went to just the top 0.01 percent, a teaspoon-size collection of about 15,000 households with average incomes of $23.8 million. These fortunate few saw their incomes rise by 21.5 percent.
The bottom 99 percent received a microscopic $80 increase in pay per person in 2010, after adjusting for inflation. The top 1 percent, whose average income is $1,019,089, had an 11.6 percent increase in income.

So what? How did their increase in income affect you? Beyond making you envious, that is. BTW, the stock market has come back up, and the people who own more stock will obviously gain more from the rise than those that own little or no stock. Of course, they also took a bigger hit when the market went South.
Another little fact that you wanna-be socialists forget, is that a large percentage of those in the bottom quintile of earners, have no skills to market. When a society has a large supply of brawn, and little demand for brawn, the price for brawn is low.
The real cause of income inequality is that people who lay on their ass taking dope and playing video games want to have an equal income to those who get out and hustle.
Got any PROOF of that statement?
No?
Then why bother with it?
Educate yourself about what we spend and who gets it.
How much do we REALLY spend on Welfare?

Maybe just maybe there is income inequality because some people choose to take a risk and bust their ass and go that extra mile where some other's choose to take the line of less resistance do as little as possible and just coast through life. It should really be no surprise that one group has done better than the other.It's better to try and fail than not to try at all and to many it seem fall into that not try at all group.

That is a loser mentality and an excuse for not putting forth the necressary effort to succeed. Most successful businessmen and women have failed at least once, and had to start over from scratch. You get out of life exactly what you are willing to put into it, nothing more and nothing less. Finding excuses for failure becomes a bad habit.

What point do you think you just made exactly?
Unless, of coarse, they want to do something like, build a mosque at Ground Zero?Anyone can do anything in this country if they do it with their own resources.
You're in that same boat, jack. You want government to fix a non-existant problem of voter fraud. You government to fix the problem in a woman's uterus. You wanted government to fix the problem of WMD's in Iraq, which, BTW, didn't exist. You want government to fix this phoney threat of Islam. You want to waste tax dollars discussing how to prevent Sharia Law in a country that does not allow church and state to mix.In the United States, only a loser fails, blames it on someone else and asks for the government to fix it.

It is not a loser mentality, it's a realistic one. No matter how we set the rules up in our economic game, only the top X% will succeed. it's competitive. My success is your failure, or if not, then it's someone else's failure, because I've beaten them out in the race for the limited number of success slots.
Exactly how few successful slots there are, though, depends on how we set the rules up. An inverse relationship exists between the rewards of the greatest success, and the difficulty of moderate success. The bigger the payoff for our biggest winners, the less there is to distribute among minor winners, and so the harder it is to become one.
These are basic laws in any economy involving limited economic resources, which means any economy located in the real world. If you pretend to the contrary, the economy you are talking about is located in cloud-ccuckoo-land.
