...y'know, the "gap" twixt rich and poor is a troublesome concept anyway...

If the poor are cared for it shouldn't matter how rich the rich are. That is (I believe) an economic misconception held by those on the left -- that the economic "pie" is of finite size -- therefore, if there is a rich man, he must have the "money" that rightly belongs to a poor man or two (or three).

Economies aren't like that -- they are not finite. Economies grow. You don't need to put limitations on the earning of the rich in order to make sure there's enough left over for the poor.

And usually, when there is a wealthier population, the wealthy stimulate the economy with their spending and investment.

What the complaint about a "Gap" indicates is simple -- it's envy. Not a very Christian value, that.

Good morning!!
