Hi R AM Many economists find that an incredible number of things fit the Pareto distriution:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_distribution such that, to make up an example, 20% of the people own 80% of the wealth. In some cases, the effect might be second order, so don't ask me for proof, but it seems to be inescapable: 1) It doesn't matter much what the economic system is or who is president, it's very stubborn. 2) I don't think that even Marxism can change thIS fundamental distribution of wealth. 3) It's also probably why taxing the rich ultimnately doesn''t work, it lowers everybody's income to fit the curve. A nd why trickle down doesn't work.
