~ United CEO silent on $32M compensation after calling wealth gap a ‘danger’
Del Beccaro: Imagine being such a fool that you publicly denounce wealth accumulation while your income is in the top .o1%.
In history, the places where wealth gap was a danger was prior to free market economies where the wealth and political power were held by the same people, i.e. monarchies, feudalism, etc. There was uniform poverty for 99% of the population.
Economic power separate from political power, historically, is a check on political power. The Unites States success was built on that separation.
One of the greatest dangers our Republic faces today is big government and big business making deals to create preferences and decide policy despite the will of voters.
Returning to the wealth gap, today, the absence of that gap is uniformly in poverty, such as Cuba and Russia – except, of course, for their rulers. the fact that so many Democrats push the policies os socialism and communism – policies that destroyed the economies and freedom in Cuba and Russia – should be alarming for all.
