    Default Price inequality

    I had some wonderful beef filet steaks with a dried cherry and merlot sauce the other night, they were great I loved it. The thing is I paid over $12 a pound for the steaks. I believe I should enjoy filet at the price of ground beef. They both come from the same animal, they are both beef. It is not the ground beef's fault that it is not as good. The price inequality gap should close, I want my filets at ground beef price.

    VERY appropriate!! Time for the Government to rush in and save us all!
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    People are concerned about income inequality but not price inequality?

    The same economic principles apply.

    If the butchers are making a 2% margin on the ground beef and a 20% margin on the filets, there's still a problem.
    If you're worth less than $5 million and you vote for McCain, you're a loser.

    Unless that wonderful meal brought you closer to Jesus, why did you post this in religion?
