So if you make $125k/yr and I make $75k/yr, equality can only exist if you give me 25k? Should America all just average our salaries and call it a day?

I think you'd be shocked how many people in America actually do think that's a good idea.

If I made $125k a year, that'd be almost double my current salary. I could spare the $25k, then, if you were struggling.

Could you do the same in the reverse situation?

Do you donate your extra money to charity or do you save some for your future? If you have the privilege of being able to save some money for your future, shame on you! There are people starving and you’re amassing your wealth?

What is "Extra Money?" I'm doing my best not to drown in debt. I've calculated it, and I can retire when I'm 142.
