I will frequent different types of online forums at times just to read different types of people's thoughts. I even make it a point to read about liberal/progressive points of views and information. I ran across this post on-line and thought to myself that there really are people out there that think like this. I'm sorry to say but the way millennials were raised and as more of them and the next generation start voting there likely will be more and more with this type of thought process. Especially since they will congregate in an urban environment. Every generation looks at the next generation and says we are doomed. I thought the below was an extremist viewpoint. Maybe I'm wrong that the liberals are more extream than I thought?
The value of people

The other day I was thinking about the disparity between rich and poor in the United States. I know we have this tradition of working hard and earning as much as you can, however much that is, but when you really think about it, how much more should society allow some people to have vs. others? Is it right that any person gets more than 100 times as much money as someone else? Are you really valuing human life by telling someone they are worth 1/100 as much as someone else?
One guy is good at buying and selling real estate and earns $1 million/year. Another guy works hard 40+ hours/week cleaning an office building and earns $30,000.
I think the economics of our society should be structured differently.
