While proponents of financial equality firmly believes that inequality can be solved, I feel otherwise about this issue. Income disparity, also known as the gap between the rich and poor, in a society may be detrimental and may be reduced, but it is yet unavoidable, even in the most ideal of cases.

We live in a Capitalist society, a system where people may acquire wealth and properties for their own ownership, and because of Capitalism and its values, there will always be the gap between the rich and the poor. An influential thinker, Marxist, has tried to solve inequality through the means of Communism, where everyone get equal amount of rewards no matter what jobs they had, but his idea revolved around the basis that all humans are pure, uncorrupted, and could not be tempted into being greedy. But that is simply untrue, and is certainly unattainable. We seen it in the Soviet Union, where corruption and inefficiency of the market brought down the mighty state down to its knees. We are seeing it in North Korea, where it's state is extremely run-down. Because of such human qualities, we will not bring society to true equality even with Communism, let alone Capitalism.

Even if proponents obstinately argue that Communism is able to help solve inequality, will every rich people distribute their wealth to the poor? Will every professionals be willing to work if their pay were the same as a roadside sweeper? That's a thought we have to decide in this debate about whether inequality can be solved.
