The "inequality problem" is based around IQ, I'm sorry that liberals freak out about empirical data. There is a reason why some people go on to pursue STEM careers where they can enjoy a comfortable living, while others are stuck in extreme poverty working shit jobs. It's not some grand conspiracy, the thing that keeps poor people down is their genetics. The reason I do not currently play in the NBA is not because I am oppressed, it is because I am not 8 feet tall with lightning reflexes.

The inequality problem in the Unites States is mainly fueled by open borders and welfare. Without a welfare program, people would only be able to reproduce based on the amount of resources they are able to acquire working in the free market. People with lower IQ's will live their lives with few or no children and will eventually die off along with their less productive genes. People will higher IQ's will have more resources to be able to support larger families that will in turn enhance the genetic stock of the country and thereby reduce inequality, this further occurs when they are not tied down supporting the irresponsible decisions of the poor.

This is how nature works, this is how a species advances itself. Nature selects against inequalities in Her own cruel manor, it is only us humans who are arrogant enough to believe we can interfere with it through artificial programs. Well eventually nature figures out a way of balancing the books and our hubris is what spurs our downfall.

A welfare program along with open borders just exacerbates the inequality problem. Without welfare, and birthright citizenship, people immigrating here would have to self deport if they were not able to survive on their own. The best and brightest would stay, and the less productive ones would not be able to make it. That's one of the reasons we were able to become such a powerful nation so quickly, for the first two hundred years or so, we took the best and brightest and those who couldn't make it on their own simply returned to the "old country" or died here in abject poverty. Seems kind of cruel, but the alternative was to force the productive members of society to be stuck under the burden of an ever expanding less productive group, which is what you are seeing in Venezuela. Their social welfare programs allowed lower IQ individuals to reproduce outside of their natural means which is causing the collapse of their country.

Socialism is shit, it has never worked, that is why the voting public rejected it this election cycle.
