I do not care about wealth disparity. Salaries should probably rise, and reform may be needed for that to happen, but I do not care if the society is unequal.

Ah, the fuck you I got mine animal in the wild. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…

I knew it was just a matter of time until final confirmation appeared. I acknowledge and respect your honesty, even if you’ve just lost any other possibility of respect.

Not at all. I do care about the wellbeing of the working class, but I do not believe that equality is a value in itself. This is the point I made.

Economical equality is in itself impossible, because each person will have different needs in the end. Equity, on the other hand, understands that, but still wants to level out the playing field.

However, from that to thinking that wealth disparity/concentration isn’t part of the problem is one hell of a leap, because it very much is part of the problem, and it is also stagnating growth: less money in the hands of people who will actually spend it means there’s less incentive to risk starting a new business. Reduction of buying power forces smaller businesses to close/sell out, creating more concentration of wealth and power (or monopolistic advances) and spreading unemployment.

I cannot understand how you can say you care about the wellbeing of the working class while not being against, at the very least, excessive wealth concentration

I am not saying I am not against wealth concentration. I saying I am not opposed to it inherently.
