POPSUsing a fake Lincoln quote to support fiscal inequality Once again, apologists are attacking a stance that no one is taking; that being: Make the Poor rich and the Rich poor. No one other than ridiculous radicals are saying that. All the people who are decrying fiscal inequality are saying is that they've had enough of there being Rich, Middle Class and Poor; they want everyone to be Middle Class (usually as per approx 1982 "Middle Class", since the current Middle Class has been hopelessly eroded). Why does there need to be anyone rich? Why can't everyone just be "prosperous"? Every dollar that a rich person has in excess of even exaggerated needs and desires is one less dollar a poor person has toward making ends meet. The whole modern concept of Capitalism creates Poverty by its very existence. Certainly, there were people who struggled to provide food for their families before there was Capitalism, but there was no Poverty.
