Inequality in the US is due to the systematic corruption of the legislative branch.

Disagree!

Inequality in the US exists because the US allows superstars to become superstars, and some of us do, and those of us that do become superstars fly so much higher than the average that it creates inequality.

In other words, its a feature, not a bug.

Go live somewhere else and try to excel above your peers. Shit gets thrown up to stop you, so no one becomes a super star. The lack of super duper excellence results in inequality being less because the very top of the measurement curve is so much lower and closer to the norm.

It's like we give 5th graders a math test that tests everything from 3rd grade to 12th grade math. Most 5th graders come out somewhere between 3rd and 6th grade ability. But one 5th grader comes out with already having mastered 12th grade math! Most of us see that as something to be proud of. Others see that as proof of educational inequality, because, you know, the kids who have only mastered 3rd grade math by 5th grade are obviously being screwed over this kid who has mastered 12th grade math......
