Equality of income opportunity is a problem in the USA

Page history last edited by Mike 12 years, 1 month ago

Reasons to agree

  1. A lot of poor kids go to failed schools.

  2. In America, children of rich people have an unacceptable number of advantages?

  3. In America, children of poor people have too many disadvantages.  

 

Reasons to disagree

  1. As long as fewer people are truly poor, income inequality is not a problem.
  2. When poor people can still afford cable TV, cell phones, and Gold Teeth, income inequality is not a problem.  
  3. Income inequality isn't a problem as long as most of the very wealthy really did work harder, smarter, or are more deserving.  Income inequality isn't a problem when the extremely poor do not try to graduate from high school, keep their pants on, or support their offspring. 
  4. Income inequality (the outcome) is not a always a problem, but equality of income opportunity is a problem.

 

 

Score: +3 (reasons to agree), -4 (reasons to disagree) = -1   


Interest / Motivation of those who agree:

  1. The desire to be seen as counterintuitive, if you are an American, by supporting a former American enemy (socialism or communism). 
  2. The desire for equality of outcome. 

 

Interest / Motivation of those who disagree: 

  1. The desire for equality of opportunity.  

Books that agree:

  1. The Communist Manifesto
