          Yes, but my point is not everyone should be equal, everyone should have enough money to live

            Did I say we should make everyone live on the exact same income?

            For giggles though if we distributed our GDP equally it would be about 106,000 after the government budget is taken out. And that’s without accounting for not having to pay Medicaid/SSI/SSDI/etc… anymore.
