Content: What about helping the little guy? Let’s think about these questions from an economic perspective. Isn’t Inequality a Sign of Injustice? Income is a return for labor that is well-invested, because well-invested labor creates value for others. This doesn’t occur in a vacuum; we can only earn income when we give others what they want at high quality and reasonable prices. Income is an important incentive for innovation and making goods and services cheaper. Only when the poor in the third world can earn higher wages, retain their income, and enter the global marketplace will they be on the road out of poverty. In the United States, we argue against income inequality primarily based on the false idea that if someone earns a high income, they take away opportunities for the poor and middle classes to earn more, too. The truth is, when economies are based on market trade they are not zero-sum games.
