Within any given ethnic and ethnoreligious group I can think of, it is not that high. That also is a good explanation that socialist policies don't create more equality in wealth... in other words, the countries with the most socialism are also the closest to 100% pure European. There are fewer Jews and fewer blacks in Europe, so that is really why there is less inequality in western europe... the socialism is largely an illusion there.
Before the counter revolution, in america, the only two reasons why there was inequality among the all Citizenry (which was nearly all of WASP and Celtic stock, mind you) was because some of them or their ancestors used govt to gain an advantage (e.g., the planter class who had slavery federally enforced, Henry clay because of his connections to SBUS, the FFV/Boston Brahmins who were granted so much money and land by the crown before they came over and then they passed it on to their descendants) or because they flat out didn't mind being not wealthy (e.g. Lincoln)
Even for black Americans (as a group), the govt takes just as much as it gives. The inequalities due to the war on drugs, wic [2], and the minimum wage are canceled out by the welfare [1], less taxes paid, and affirmative action black Americans benefit from.
Is that a good explanation as to why inequalities in wealth exist? Isn't egalitarianism a revolt against nature?
[1]except for wic
[2]because they should be receiving breast pumps instead so their IQs will be higher.
