I don't see the widening of the gap between rich & poor as a good thing. There's a pretty big gap as it is.

Some of this is due to tax policy. Some of it is the (international) market. Some of it is culture/social (choices that have financial consequences). Some of it is failures in education. And I'm sure I've missed some other causes.

I'd like to see changes to the tax policy. I'd like to see changes to education such that kids can get decent jobs, even if they aren't going to go off to a 4-year liberal arts college. I'd like to see changes to certain policies regarding the availability of (and education concerning) birth control. And I'd love to see some cultural changes with regard to spending beyond one's means - and this includes rich people who like tax cuts but not budget cuts.

In the meantime, hopefully the charitable contributions we've made and will make this year help.
