what should government do to overcome the unbalance of the national income?

"balance of income" should not be controlled by the government - that is socialism (USSR, Cuba).  Each person in a free society may determine their own income level.  A couple of determining factors:  1) don't have sex/children that you can't afford;  2)get an education: 3) find an area that pays well - and get into it.

What is fair about someone coming in and changing my standard of living because they want more.\n\nOne way or another it will be resolved here. We will either become an exceeding poor nation with few resources to help the overpopulation. Or others will have to survive in the own country  and people here can survive the best they know how.\nLife goes on either way.

Thanks for asking.  Here's the answer.  The government should never, ever, hand out money, or anything of value for that matter.  The fraud involved in that method is vast.  Make sure the people are getting what it was intended they get (eliminating, for example, the old food stamps for crack barter).  Concentrate hard on eliminating the waste and fraud inherent in the system.  Every dollar you save by eliminating fraud and waste could be used to get these people off welfare (at no additional cost to the taxpayers).  Education, job training, relocation.  Once you have a good system for getting people off welfare, then you can start to install restrictions to "encourage" the less motivated.  You could also clamp down on fraud and waste in other government departments and use that "free" money to get people off of welfare and out of poverty.  Done.  Next problem.

I'm in total agreement with you. it's the same for any country. over population will create problems with jobs. are system would not be able to support everyone in need of help.

The government shouldn't do anything. It's up to the individual to improve his or her skills. Gain an education and make ones self marketable.

Ther government doesn't generate any money.  It only takes money from working people and distributes it.  Unfortunately, there is a large section of the population who is lazy and takes advantage of this.  People do not need homes, they can live in apartments.  They can pay for apartments by having a job - what a concept.

Spend it inefficiently and waste a great deal of it.  All the more reason for the taxpayer to keep a greater proportion of what they earn.  (including the wealthy, for those of you who feel that increasing government confiscation of ones wealth is acceptable because an individual earns a good deal of money.  Notice the word earns.)

Nope. I think each government should try to reform their own country instead of poking their noses into the problems of their neighboring countries.

A mess.  Our society would be alot better off if we tried to equalize the money a bit.  We are not making much headway doing it the way we are.  I would be willing to join a political party that thinks we should take care of our own country and it's people.  Global warming and the loss of fish, other animals and the state of our rainforests really has me worried.  And I am ashamed that we as a country have not learned to be above war.

Proper change is proper change.  Paying taxes is not balancing the budget, as we have seen with the republicunts. In Europe they pay a higher tax rate but have more services for all people across the board, plus they pay no tax in their retirement years.  I would rather pay higher taxes and have health insurance then supply the military for the world.

Yes. Too many people that are ripping off the government using the welfare system. Also, welfare is not a permanent solution, but is a helping hand until you get on your own two feet.

Your question should be what should the US do for its citizents to improve the conditions for the average US citizen living in the US.\nWe must take care of home first.

i think there should be more balance, while i think we need some money going for defense (not saying iraq is the best way ),  and some to help other nations,,,,,, we also need an equal share to helping our own people here in the usa,,, for medical care,,,, quality of life, etc,,,,

Actucally, you can avoid that. Stop working and become one of those on government support. For some reason that I can not comprehend the government thinks they have to support everyone who does not want to support themselves.

The obvious fix is to stop excusing high income people from paying the FICA on earnings over $79K. IMPO, I think we should stop differentiating between income earned as wages or salary and income earned as stock dividends. I don't see why we ever started taxing these types of income differently in the first place, other than venal politicians pandering to powerful constiuents.

Eliminate corruption and politicians. Put taxes to legitimate use.  It's a simple formula but i think it will work.
