The only way there can be pure income equality is a 2 tiered system (AKA communism) where you have the elite and everyone else (i.e. peasants). In this system, there is very little opportunity and next to impossible to go from peasant status to elite. You have the choice of this or the system in the U.S. where there is indeed huge income disparities with everyone having a chance to become wealthy. Liberal democrats favor the former while conservative republicans favor the latter. When it comes to police, most democrats have a disfavorable view of them while most republicans thank God everyday for their presence. Blacks and Hispanics continue to have problems with police because they refuse to show any respect for their authority. Without the police, the liberal Turd's would run rampant stealing and looting everything in sight. This still happens even with police presence by liberal democrats during disaster scenarios when police are forced to concentrate on other things.
