There will never be income equality. The Soviet Union tried it and it was a dismal failure.
You also could only post opinions which don't support the reality of life. I don't blame you for not bothering.
People have different talents and should be allowed to express those talents freely, even if it means one person will become a billionaire and the other fails and ends up poor or at least middle class.
That being said, there will always be thieves who are wealthy and those who are poor. However, most of the crime we're seeing today isn't to feed or clothe oneself or a family, but to buy drugs or support the gang they belong to. They see easy victims and take advantage of them.
As the articles I posted show which you reject, drug dealers who are wealthy, are corrupt and will kill to keep their wealth. So, poverty isn't their motivation, but the absence of moral values. It's the same for all crime in most cases, it has to do with a lack of moral values and many inner city thugs were raised in broken homes without fathers and no moral values. They'll take advantage of the naïve which we see happening today.
