Do you think it's fair for individuals with more talent or who work harder to earn more, or should everyone earn the same?

 @9H9W5ZX from Ohio answered…5mos5MO

If someone works harder, it is only fair for them to get a larger portion of wealth than someone who doesn't work as hard. It promotes competition and helps society as a whole to progress, because there is a motivation to create new and exciting things.

  @CrowWatchingJustice party member  from Utah commented…5mos5MO

CEOs and most corporate leaders don’t work hard, they make money off other people working hard.

 @9HCBRVZanswered…5mos5MO

I think people who work harder, deserve the right to earn more than those that don't.

 @9HBR88J from Wisconsin answered…5mos5MO

I feel as if the people who work harder should have the right to be able to have a higher income then those of people who don't work as much or nearly as harder then those who do.

 @9HBPBL9 from Texas answered…5mos5MO

As amazing as hard workers are, if they're guaranteed rewards then the people who don't work as hard won't try to do the job, I believe hard workers deserve rewards but not big ones so it doesn't upset the balance.

If higher education was free for everyone, how do you think that would change the way society values different professions?

 @9JB6WMRPeace and Freedom from Illinois answered…4mos4MO

More people in American would be smarter and help raise the economy to a better place. Also more well educated people means more people have knowledge of the world beside just high school.

 @9JB9QWQ from Wisconsin answered…4mos4MO

Everyone would be able to get a good education and get better jobs, they're would be less poor people.

 @9JB7N6F from Nebraska answered…4mos4MO

Free higher education already implemented under Nazi Germany. Hitler taxed a lot to fund university education.

 @9JB8CF8 from Minnesota answered…4mos4MO

I believe it would allow for a lot of new views to be presented in places where their thoughts will be taken into greater account. I think this would pull the country together making it a better place for everyone.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1mo1MO

What are your thoughts on the balance between encouraging hard work and ensuring financial equity?

 @9LB5BSYanswered…1mo1MO

Hard work can achieve financial equity but most of the time, hard work doesn't pay off.

 @9LB5827 from Virginia answered…1mo1MO

Hard work needs to be rewarded, but we must also make sure that everyone gets a fair chance at being successful.

 @9LB5WRKanswered…1mo1MO

 @9LB59MX from North Carolina answered…1mo1MO

I don’t have many thoughts on this matter because it does not concern me

How would friendships and relationships change if everyone had the same financial status?

 @9KT6YT8 from New York answered…2mos2MO

I would feel as if the change in friendships are not loyal and only baed off moneys makes loyalty diminished within peopls personality and character in life meaning that if a woman who is married has a high financial status than a man she will leave because they are not on the same stance instead of staying for the love he gives and the reason he is there.

 @9KYTNJ5 from Kansas disagreed…2mos2MO

I believe if this was true, the disloyal and disconnective relationships would eventually dissipate.

 @9KT737T from New York answered…2mos2MO

people would be more inclusive and open-minded of each other

 @9KTY6Z9 from Michigan disagreed…2mos2MO

Social status is important to society and keeps people by their standards, no one should have to live like communists.

 @9KT7CWR from California answered…2mos2MO

 @9KT7DGFGreen from California answered…2mos2MO

Their financial status would maybe make their life's better or harder to live.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1mo1MO

How might your daily social interactions change if income were not a factor?

 @9LJ3DN9 from Montana answered…4wks4W

I would be more at ease likely, however I would interact with others the same.

How does the idea of economic equality fit with the notion of the 'American Dream'?

 @9KJ55MYIndependent from North Carolina answered…2mos2MO

For everyone to live the 'American Dream', the economy must fairly distribute its wealth to all US citizens, regardless of race/ethnicity.

 @9KL5B3C from Oklahoma agreed…2mos2MO

The american dream is white based, The american dream should apply to all citizens regardless of people skin color

 @9KJ4LFGLibertarian from Texas answered…2mos2MO

Equality should be determined by equality of access, what you choose to do with that access is up to you.

 @9KJCSKY from California agreed…2mos2MO

The american dream is to work hard and profit due to it. That is only possible if everyone has the same starting place so their work can be judged.

If you had to argue for economic inequality, what points would you raise?

 @9KLPD4Manswered…2mos2MO

Economic egalitarianism is non-sense and I do not feel there is inequality

 @9KLNW7Y from Alabama answered…2mos2MO

if your working for your money you deserve your money but also there should be a way to pay the government in some way or form to help the country be prepared

 @9KLNGY5 from Maryland answered…2mos2MO

 @ISIDEWITHasked…1mo1MO

What's one example of economic disparity that you've personally witnessed, and how did it impact you?

 @9LGQQJX from Texas answered…4wks4W

Poor white kids were not included in programs to encourage poor people to consider higher education as an achievable goal

 @9LGQQBJ  from Indiana answered…4wks4W

The ability to afford mental health care and how if I was unable to afford it I would have already taken my own life.

Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to afford it

 @9LGQMPB from Indiana answered…4wks4W

It exists within school corporations between specific schools. Parts of town that have lower SES or schools in which all the "bad kids" are sent.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

What role do you think education plays in achieving economic equality?

 @9HGQ3B6  from California answered…5mos5MO

Education is pivotal in fostering economic egalitarianism by providing equal access to knowledge and skills, empowering individuals to break socio-economic barriers, and promoting a more equitable distribution of opportunities.

 @9HGSRNMSocialist from Alaska answered…5mos5MO

I don't really know but they need a better way of helping the community and businesses to get along and cooperate with each other.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…4mos4MO

How might volunteer work impact economic disparities in your community?

 @9HW3D22 from Nebraska answered…4mos4MO

 @9HVZ9R4 from Pennsylvania answered…4mos4MO

I think it could definitely help facilitate better social tolerance within the different economically challenged areas.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Imagine if everyone started with the same income at age 18; what do you think society would look like?

 @9HK5X8S  from Idaho answered…5mos5MO

It depends on what a person chooses to do with their money. Do they invest, spend it, or save it? Each scenario is a different outcome. Whatever an individual chooses to do with their money will determine what society looks like. We can give people as much money as we want but will that really make things "more fair"? I think society will remain wanting more and demanding more fairness even though everyone started out with the same income.

 @9HK5WFSIndependent from Colorado answered…5mos5MO

Bad and messed up, I believe you should work for what you earn and work your way up. You shouldn't just be granted that privilege. TBH, that would be nice tho, but bad for the economy :P
