What is income equality, and should I support it?

If I work more than someone who just sits around and does nothing, why should we have equal income? As things currently stand, and have stood for many hundreds of years, the person who sits around and does nothing is the one getting paid from the work you do. Either they are the CEO of a company or they are taking welfare cheques out of your tax dollars. If everything were balanced out so that everybody earned the same, your money would go up, not down. It would go up by a lot. Given the choice of working a job or being with my family, I will choose my family if I could get away with it. If everyone earned the same it would provide no incentive to continue working when you are supporting others who simply don't want to put forth the effort and making the same amount you are. 1
