I gather you're a (I hate labels, but...) Conservative who believes in minimal gov't involvement, especially when it comes to money and general social equalities. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I believe that the government should have Moderate involvement in ensuring that the status quo is challenged and the haves don't become richer as the have nots become poorer. This usually takes the form of social welfare programs including but not limited to AFDC, welfare-to-work, and civil rights initiatives to combat the numerous "isms." I know that's not exhaustive and a bit vague but for a list of actual initiatives and proposed initiatives you can do a government documents search of your own.
In essence, I feel you can't target class inequality without targeting other inequalities. I don't advocate complete Socialism because it would be hard to get the tax payers to agree to this. I also believe that some inequality is functional for society (in terms of roles and statuses) and inevitable when we have socially constructed distinct categories such as social class. I simply believe that this society has gone too far with the status quo and pyramid-formation wealth distribution.
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it.
