besides measuring member's financial lengths, I would like to throw some thoughts at the "inequality" aspect of your poll, JT.

inequality sounds like a bad thing - but how much of that inequality is justified and how much of it is desirable?

food for thought.

equalitarism is one of the worst poisons I know for society.

Seriously? Aren't there enough spaces in the world for Ayn Rand groupies?

as you are American and far away from Europe, you cannot possibly understand what's going on there.

After taxes and social transfers, the 20:20 is only 2.2 in France. The 10:10 is only 3.4

This is symptomatic for a country where everything is just too expensive to buy for about everyone except the rich, but their numbers are dwindling.

A country can't function properly like that.

Incidentially, public expenditure makes up 58% of France's GDP, accompanied by industrial desertification and record unemployment.
