The science of sociology says you're wrong about income inequality as far as the health of a society goes. Sociologists should know that correlation does not equal causation. Maybe they need more education. <g> Or less ideology. More important than the gap is whether those at the bottom have enough and whether mobility is possible. Singapore is number one in pretty much everything. And they have very little income inequality... Singapore is number one [in education], Japan is number two, South Korea's is seventh.If you look at the countries, they are all vibrant democracies with very little income inequality... Yes, Singapore is number one in income inequality, saving the US from that dreaded spot. Japan is number one in income equality. businessinsider.com So much even for correlation. We rank 39th in math, so far down educationally and intellectually... If your point is that the US education system sucks, I couldn't agree more. We have hoards of innumerate and scientifically illiterate and critical thinking has become a lost art. I think you've captured part of the reason but only part.
