US of AMERICA: The Nation of Inequalities

When most of us think of INEQUALITY, we think of:
  • Race
  • Gender
  • Justice

Basically because, this is how MAINSTREAM MEDIA has phrased it to the public...  and the public being gullible have swallowed the bait...  hook, line, and sinker.

BUT, INEQUALITY permeates every single fabric and layer of our society long before we ended WWI and WWII and I am being gracious with the time frame.

At the beginning of our INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, there is large scale inequality between:  MANAGEMENT and labor.

When the TITANS of INDUSTRY were sowing their wild oats, they were also creating large scale inequality between the:  WEALTHY and poor...  or, what some may call the HAVES and the HAVE NOTS.

BUT...  INEQUALITY in AMERICA extends much much deeper into the ROOTS of our SOCIETY, and can be found in:
  1. Those who are educated and those who are not
  2. Those who are religious and those who are not
  3. Those who are Catholic and those who are not
  4. Those who are Jewish and those who are not
  5. Those who are athletic and those who are not
  6. Those who are musical and those who are not
  7. Those who are married and those who are not (wages & taxes)
  8. Those who have political connections and those who do not
  9. Those who live in California and those who do not
  10. Those who live in NYC and those who do not
  11. Those who are disabled and those who are not
  12. Those who are CEO's and those who are not
  13. Those who are clergy and those who are not
  14. Those who are legal immigrants and those who are illegal immigrants
  15. Those who can have children and those who cannot
  16. Those who graduated high school and those who did not
  17. Those who are Democrats and those who are not
  18. Those who are Republicans and those who are not
  19. Those who are Socialists and those who are not
  20. Those who are veterans and those who are not
  21. Those who are cigarette smokers and those who are not
  22. Those who drink alcohol and those who do not
  23. Those who smoke marijuana and those who do not
  24. Those who are retired and those who are not
  25. Those who teach and those who do not
  26. Those who have good grammar and those who do not
  27. Those who like music and those who do not
  28. Those who talk loudly and those who do not
  29. Those who want to be with people and those who do not
  30. Those who pay their taxes and those who hide their money
  31. Males/Females that are attractive and Male/Females who are not
  32. Males/Females who are in law enforcement and Males/Females who are not
NOTATIONS:  
1.  After reading through these 30+ points, I am sure you have a good idea where I am going with this...  Americans  are more unequal than equal and yet some people want to make a big deal out of all this inequality...   like it is all of sudden part of the landscape of society.
2.  America needs inequalities at all levels of our society, if we are to grow and prosper as a nation.  We have to have the wealthy and we have to have management and we have to have labor...   and, if everyone had a COLLEGE DEGREE and each student had made straight "A's" we would find some other way to have the Wealthy, management, and labor....  perhaps retention of knowledge or achieved outputs or some kind of competency exam...  The point is that not everyone can be on top and not everyone can be in the middle.
3.  INEQUALITY forces people to try and become better and the more that people strive, the stronger our economy becomes and grows...   and the people on the bottom will always suffer to some degree...   but, everyone else does not care, as long as it is not them.
