Thoughtful article David St. Vincent.

I'm not sure that making billionaires the enemy is going to get us there. It kind of lends the idea that they are taking from us. That our incomes are smaller because their's are greater. That's not the case.

Your football analogy is a clever and an immaginative way of dealing with income inequality.

Income inequality is not the essential problem although very important because it feeds into it. The real issue is inequalty of opportunity. And because of this we in the U.S. waste so much talent and are all less prosperous because of it.

We have to get more money into people's pockets all across America. Agreed? Andrew Yang's idea (Milton Friedman also, but his more narrowly defined as addressing poverty) of a base icome is very appealing.

Forget about how much people earn at the top because in many ways we want them to earn more. Or rather to be more productive. In exchange for that license that they place the investment into a base income platform for all Americans to have their chance to make themselves and America more prosperous and perhaps happier.

Many thanks
