Zone1 Income inequality can be a a real thing.....

[EvilCat Breath]

Sort of like the natural laws that exist on the African Savannah with all the diverse creatures there eh ?? However, we are not animals subject to the laws of an African savannah, and therefore we are given position within the higher archy of God's creation, and we should act like it.

There's your problem. We ARE. Survival of the fittest, even the financial fittest. The poor will always spend their money on what feels good. They have no impulse control. Give them a windfall and they will buy a new car, rent a bigger apartment, have some retail therapy at the mall. In a remarkably short time, they are as poor as they ever were.

There was an experiment with young children. Children were offered free lollipops. They could get one lollipop a day or get no lollipops a day and at the end of the week they would get 14 lollipops, twice as many as if they got daily lollipops. Some children did wait. Some children did not. At the end of a week when the children who had gotten no lollipops all week got 14, the other children, who could not wait complained. It was unfair of those who had twice as many lollipops to not share and give some to the others who had none. And that's why poor people will always be poor.

Reps that represent honestly, and with integrity. Is that really so hard these day's ?? Hmmm.

Apparently it is. Both Left and Right.

Do you think that the above mentioned (Pelosi, AOC and the like), are your typical honest wealthy people who are risking everything to make in your words a "chunk of coin" ??? Does the word income inequality fit when talking about the differences in who is holding the wealth and power between these two types of group's or individual's mentioned in this post ??

Sure, there is income inequality, always has been and always will be. Some rich people are honest and hard-working and some are not, nothing new there. The question becomes what to do about it. How do you distinguish between the two groups in a court of law where you are presumed innocent until proven otherwise? True, the system we have now kinda sucks, but I don't see any possible way to change it for the better. Why? Cuz whatever your new system is will still be run by human beings.

Sort of like “the ant and the grasshopper.”

Some plan for the future by working hard and preparing for the future, saving resources for a rainy day. Others frolic around, having a relaxing time. Then, the rain comes, and the slacker cries to the responsible worker to share his resources,

Lawlessness is caused by sin, not poverty. Poverty is not caused by wealth inequality but can be aggravated by efforts to redistribute everyone's earnings among the worthy and the unworthy, thus destroying the fabric of good economies.

Absolutely... For year's we have been groomed with lies that poverty and lawlessness go hand in hand together (not true totally). Yes poverty does create weaknesses that if a devil gets a chance at exploiting the weaknesses caused by poverty, then there is always a chance of producing unstable individual's if the devil's or demon's are allowed to remain amongst the impoverished for to long, otherwise without proper monitoring of the village by monitors who can remove those elements from amongst the villages before it's to late.

The demons or devil's are easily seen by their actions, and by their grooming of those who are vulnerable in a state of poverty if no standards or protections exist.

Most are or have been subjected to poverty at some point or another in life, and if they live within an unprotected unsecured situation, then the breakdown of the individual or family structure is inevitable unless Christian values hold in families that are strong in that way.

That's why there are stories like the ant and the grasshopper.

Familyism Is Even More Primitive Than Tribalism

The worst examples of getting money without earning it are through trust funds and inheritances. Americans are programmed to refer to less important and less harmful examples.

Proverbs 13:22 says: “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the sinner’s wealth is laid up for the righteous” (ESV) Bible Hub+1. This verse is a timeless reminder about legacy, values, and the lasting impact of how we live.
