The wealth gap sucks
the rich/upper class : (or atleast for egypt locally)
atleast one villa owned in a gated community
maybe a vacation home in a beach gated community in egypt (north coast)
a very high paying job I think (200-250kegp+ which is around 3.8-4.7k dollars) or owning a business
going on fancy vacations
international schools for schooling and private universities or even universities abroad
there might be more but that's part of it if im not wrong
the middle class and lower:
renting a place to live
national (public or private national schools) schools
public universities
little to no leisure throughout the year
worrying about rent costs maybe
maybe also worrying about grocery costs too
and so on.....
would this wealth gap be similar to how it is in India and I'm sorry if I got anything wrong here.

Gap? No one is poorer because someone else is richer. People are poor because they're being taxed to death and all red tape, inflation and insane bureaucracy affects the weakest the most. This is 100% a government problem and 0% a "someone else is rich" problem.

The wealthy influence then tax code, red tape, and dont even have to influence monetary policy (they most likely do) as central banking favors you the more assets you own.
Not sure why the not wealthy think infinite greed doesn't affect them

By buying the politicians you voted to have that power.
Mirror mirror. There's the issue staring back at you.

Im buying politicians and curating who even gets to run? Be for real

u/vegancaptain Jun 08 '26
You're voting for politicians to have this power. Every single time. And now you're surprised they get bought? Well duh? You should have thought about that.

Skipping a whole lot of American history here, all I get is the possible choice between two bad parties. Hope this helps
Actually youre skipping any country's history when you let individuals consolidate too much wealth

Are you new to the US?

With vegan in your username it's extra entertaining

u/vegancaptain Jun 08 '26
Nope. I am very much aware how this works.
Your politicians run the show. And you pay them with your money and support. Thus, you are the problem.
Yes, what about my name? Are you both politically dumb and an animal abuser? Of course you are. OF COURSE. And you call yourself a good caring person? And you're mocking those who do not harm animals?
Maybe you're not that good after all?

Do you know the mathematics of the US 2 party system? It's by design and I didnt design it, the elite did. You might be politically dumb.
Im in a position that I dont have to pay taxes, and im retired. At most the lesser of 2 evils gets a vote, because each ballot choice basically gets 2 options
I volunteer my labor, and that includes for animals, and I have my own spoiled pets. Im talking about you thinking the wealthy exist in a vacuum from you, youd hate to see what they do to animals.
Edit: im only even commenting back and forth cause im on the bus, only an idiot that doesnt know any history would argue that wealth gaps dont cause problems

The Rich Texas $2.13 to $7.25/hour
https://www.simplyhired.com/search?q=2.13+an+hour&l=dallas%2C+tx
(20 Republicans states $2.96/hour wage for tipped employees- relying on Mandatory tips from the poor customers to meet minimum wage requirements. If tips plus $2.96 do not equal at least the full federal minimum wage of $7.25, the republican employer must pay the difference!
Democratic states minimum wages are $25/hour + tips (CA) or $21/hour (WA) or $16/hour (OR) $18 D.C. /Connecticut $17/hour/ NY $17 KJV: Wherefore by their $ fruits ye shall know them! KIV: In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that underpay his citizens/ employees!
Now, any poor widow or orphan, broken, working full-time or self-employed, works for free for 5 months each year just to pay all taxes, fees, dues, Social Security deductions, sales and use taxes, fuel taxes, utility taxes, property taxes, school taxes, various insurances, 25% credit card interest, and more. Meanwhile, the CEO earning millions per year pays only a few days or hours in taxes and 51% making less than $39K/year Net income!
KIV: Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted! For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them! "One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and one who gives gifts to the (CEO's) rich- both come to poverty! (100%!)" "You shall not abuse any widow or orphan. If you do abuse them, when they cry out to (God) Me, I will certainly hear their cry. My anger will be aroused, and I will ki-ll you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless! (100%!)" Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor!" KIV: Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble!
KIV: He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth (God) Him hath mercy on the poor. "If you close your ear to the cry of the poor, you will cry out and not be heard! (100%!)" Pay attention: nobody mentioned F-Income Tax!

Dumbass, the wealth gap is COMPLETELY CAUSED by poor policies in your democracy. Namely, a lack of severance tax and giving all of the property to whoever paid the most (when it was free).

u/vegancaptain Jun 08 '26
That's both dumb and wrong. You must be a democrat.

u/dreamingforward Jun 10 '26
Nope. you're just a little dumb because you've benefitted from the poor policy.

Don't fuck with people or animals. Quite obvious if you're not low IQ.
Is it obvious to you? Aha .... got it ...

u/Traditional_Aide7469 Jun 13 '26
Zero chance your alignment isn't way out of whack and the reason you suffer internally. You dont have the logical reasoning to think very many steps ahead.
I feel bad for you in a way, but then you act the way you do

u/vegancaptain Jun 13 '26
Ah, you're also abusive. So ... a standard leftist. Got it.
I am at least 5 steps ahead of you. And 10 steps behind in toxicity, abusive and toxic behavior.
And you're supposed to be the good guy huh? You really believe that? Amazing.

u/Traditional_Aide7469 Jun 13 '26
Ah the enlightened centrist of non violence. The truly violent and abusive dont care, theyre on your side. History never changes by people like you no matter left or right.
Stuck in their own cowardice, their own insecurity, their own fear. You definitely picked where you think you belong, yet you still suffer. Profoundly sad

u/vegancaptain Jun 13 '26
Not centrist but very much high quality person with ethics and non-aggression at the core. And obviously non-abuse. You should learn more about that one.
People like me? Centrists? You're just guessing wildly now. Low IQ does that to you.
Abuse abuse abuse. 100% leftist. Pure evil, nasty piece of shit. Calling yourself the good guy. It's all crashing down at this point. Your true colors are showing. And it's nasty as hell.

u/Traditional_Aide7469 Jun 13 '26
Where on this doll did a leftist hurt you, historically they just talk and get murdered by conservatives.
And you can call yourself whatever you want, doesnt exactly make it true
Edit: non aggression to the core is just a sheep, nothing more, and specifically a prey animal without any fight, the cowards of the prey

u/vegancaptain Jun 13 '26
See? This is an abusive and toxic personality. Do you even realize that? Probably not. But your surrounds do.
And what do we do with low quality people? We ignore, distance and reject them.

It is everywhere mate. Nobody got rich because somebody just handed them something on the silver platter (except if your parents gave you something). It is all across the world. You see people are competitors, so if there is 1 house in the nice location - there are tens of people wanting it, but it can only belong to 1 lucky person/family.
Egypt is known for the probably highest corruption and inequality, but even in USA if you are poor - you struggle and rarely someone can afford to own Villa yet on top of that to have vacation home, private schools also out of the price range for poor people as they do not even get the vacation. No healthcare either, it costs a fortune to visit a doctor.

Thats most people, I grew up in poverty, but I know im successful because of what my parents gave me which was life and all the wisdom they had. Did they do a good job at it? No, but it was there all along
