Sure and I think solving inequality must be weighed along with increasing prosperity. Both have to be considered because often increasing one means increasing other - increasing taxes too much and there are no incentives to work and prosperity reduces. We need to find the right balance between both.

I do acknowledge that inequality can have unforeseen consequences and worth talking about and tackling today but only by considering the right tradeoffs.

I'm trying to square these:

> Increasing taxes too much and there are no incentives to work and prosperity reduces.

> Your first mistake is thinking hard work matters.

If hard work doesn't matter, then why care what incentives are?
