Indifferent To Inequality?

摘要

At last count, I was trailing way behind bill Gates in life's wealth derby. His paycheck is bigger, he owns more stock and he lives in a bigger house. None of this bothers me. When Gates's wealth rises, it doesn't make me feel worse; when it falls, it doesn't make me feel better. Things might be different if I owned Microsoft stock, but I don't. My casualness may be extreme, but I suspect that most Americans don't see Gates as a threat.
