Bill Gates' solution to income inequality

[Rob L 3,811]

So you want the wealthy to accumulate even more wealth than they already have? Shouldn't we be more concerned with fixing the system that forces people to accumulate debt which mainly benefits people of means?

I don't know if we should be more or less concerned, but I am very interested in your ideas. Can you point me to some thought leaders in this area?

When 99% of the post recession income gains go to 1% of the population, then the case is practically made that there are structural issues that need to be addressed in order to halt this accelerating concentration of wealth and income. It's not sustainable and will create the next depression. Plain and simple.

So you are equating reduction in peoples debt as Marxism?..I don't see the connection.

That is the problem ( well at least in some of our minds, others think it is working out well for them personally) but what is the best solution?

Unless you're sitting there in the top tenth of the top 1%, it's not working out well for you. I doubt we have any of those on here.
