So, What's Wrong with Inequality, Anyway?

Well, they say an image is worth a thousand words. So let me save my breath; dear reader, just see the pictures in the two articles linked below:

Resource magnates rally to their protest against tax. The Australian. 10-06-2010.

Aftermath:

  1. Then PM Kevin Rudd was deposed in a Westminster-style legal coup de etat (very civilized, actually).
  2. Twiggy pockets $500 million in a day as Fortescue soars. SMH. 18-01-2011.
That's part of what's wrong with inequality: unequal access to power.
