People at the bottom earn zero. Zero will always be zero, and there will always be people who do things or don’t do things that cause them to earn zero. (This is not to say we shouldn’t help and teach them so they can produce more than zero).
At the top are people who earn the most. You can’t get lower than zero, but you can get more than a lot.
Do we want the people who earn the most to earn less so we can say they are closer to zero than they were? Would it be a sign of a healthy growing economy for all if the top did worse? Or do we want everyone to do better no matter who they are, understanding there will always be some people at zero?
Indeed!!
I always enjoy reading Larry’s blogs. lol. They sure do make you think.
