Actually the stability of the US as a democracy depends on reasonably equal distribution of wealth I would say it doesn't, but "reasonably equal" is rather vague and subjective, so I can't be 100% sure I disagree, because I can't be 100% sure what you mean. Agreed. Without numbers its sort of meaningless to discuss "reasonable" distributions.

Let me tell you what reasonable isn't......having 80% of a nation's wealth concentrated in the hands of 5% of its population. The evil greed meisters of the rightwing have floated this myth that the USA is about everyone becoming Bill Gates The only one floating that myth is you, as a straw man. LOL. Hardly. One of the favorite bedtime tales for the children of righties is Horatio Alger. Its common knowledge. Its how you all maintain your position that capitalism is good for all of us, and not just you.
