Income Inequality

Interesting Gini Index graph measuring income gaps/inequality. The reasons of course are varied and complicated. Notice the upward trend of the U.S., China and UK (though the growth seems higher with the last two). Even India seems to be breaking out. Also, France started the post-war era among the highest and then proceeded with the biggest drop. Italy too witnessed quite a drop from its highs.

South American countries in general maintain persistently high icome level gaps.

Canada and Germany have remained stable.

    It's good to be rich. Well... it's always good to be rich, but it's even better being rich when you can also laugh at all the poor people.

    Isn't that what competition is? No one but you succeeding?

    There can only be "one" top dog.

    A team wants to win the title doesn't want the other to succeed.
