The idea of solving as huge and long-term a problem as inequality - which, for my money, is the biggest single problem we have here at home - just never gets serious concern from both sides.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I fall into the camp that income inequality is the biggest problem we face.
Sometimes big problems are best solved with lots of small and creative solutions.
Don't ignore big problems, and don't try to pretend that problems are smaller than they are.
The biggest single challenge to America and our future is income inequality. We've got to fix it.
Solving problems is fine, but it has gotten to the point of being a global obsession. We somehow have it in our heads that if we solve all of the problems, we can sit back and enjoy the easy life. But in reality, we become lazy and complacent. And that's when we get flooded with even bigger problems.
I think inequality is fine, as long as it is in the common interest. The problem is when it gets so extreme, when it becomes excessive.
Everybody agrees that whatever the solutions are to the big problems, they... can never be without some element of education.
Massive inequality, we have learned, isn't the best way to run an economy after all. And when you think about it, it's also profoundly ugly.
The world's biggest problems are the world's biggest market opportunities. And that's a huge thing. Solve hunger, literacy and energy problems, get the gratitude of the world and become a billionaire in the process.
Solving big problems is easier than solving little problems.
