Do you know how much that was always true, even before there was less "income inequality"?

Do you know how many people are miserable at even higher than average paying jobs? Or even higher paying than that?

Are we to assume that income equality will make people love their jobs? Wouldn't it drive those with more ambition and ability to strike out on their own to find or create something in the way of compensated work that was more satisfying to their souls--whatever they considered their souls to be? Even if it paid less?

Start with yourself. Is your satisfaction with your life dependent on income equality? Does the existence of billionaires diminish your quality of life? Examine what are those things which make your life worthwhile. And what is necessary for the society you live in to allow you, encourage you, or guarantee to you, the ability to do those things that make you life worthwhile.
