I see you wouldn't answer the question either:

Suppose we could choose between societies in which:

1) the top 1% earned a minium of $1B per year each and the bottom 50% earned $250K per year each or

2) the top 1% earned an average of $1M per year each and the bottom 50% earned %10K per year each.

Choice #1 would be much more unequal.

$1B / $250K = 4000

$1M / $10K = 100

Whats your choice?

(Parson was afraid to answer this - how about you?)

As for rich's fair share, they're paying much more than that now.
