Praxius has the answer. I will add just a bit, since the comodification of these human institutions is virtually complete in the west as I see it they are useless for the purpose and have become nothing more than brothels for corporations and banks.

Not the time to show ignorance.
Here look for yourself. It will stick better.

Richard Wilkinson on The Age of Unequals
One of Britain's leading social epidemiologists, Richard Wilkinson, looks at what it means to live in a new age of inequality. Wilkinson is the co-author of the groundbreaking, international bestseller The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everyone.
This touches on the post about income disparity by gopher.

Kind of like Canadians feeling Canada is the greatest Country in the world. So really, there is no surprise if Americans think that way about their country, is there.
I'm certainly not going to argue with the indisputable fact that the gap between rich and poor.....and the disappearance of anything in between......is one of the most serious issues facing the United States today.
However, equality is a scary ideal as well.....there has to be significant reward for risk-taking, for building the economy, for creating jobs, there has to be a hierarchy.
It is just that right now people are making tens of millions a year for ****ing up things that would be obvious to any bright high school junior.
Ridiculous....
Yea, I'll agree to this. Gross inequality is the problem, not inequality in general.
Inflated adjusted,
an annual entry wage in a factory in 1962 was $60,000 and a family-sized (4 bedroom) home was $80,000. Nowadays, good luck under 30 to find any job - let alone one which pays $60,000 a year and good luck with that 20 / 40 /60 year mortage on the million dollar home.

I answered your post without realising that you had adjusted the 1962 income for inflation....so my post became irrelevant and I deleted it....and I had to write something down besides just dots.
How much you earn isn't nearly as important as how much you spend and how you spend it. A lot of it just goes for material things anyway. (Like yesterday when I bought the wife a new dishwasher)
