There's just one thing,
That's getting in the way,
When we go up to bed your just no good,
its such a shame!
I look into your eyes,
I want to get to know you,
And then you make this noise,
and it's apparent, it's all over.
Its not fair,
And I think you're really mean,
I think your really mean,
I think your really mean.
Oh you're supposed to care,
But you never make me scream,
You never make me scream.

Oh, I lie here in the wet patch
in the middle of the bed.
I'm feeling pretty damn hard done by
I've spent ages giving head
Then, I remember all the nice things,
that you never said to me.
Maybe, I'm just overreacting,
maybe, you're the one for me.

Speaking at an event in Burlington, Ont., on Monday, Liberal Senator Art Eggleton warned the audience about the growing level of income inequality in Canada.
“I think our future level of prosperity depends on us addressing our
current level of poverty,” he said. And who would disagree? Most people
would prefer not to live in a society where people suffer in poverty.
But, he continued, “I think in the income inequality context we are able
to reach out to a much larger part of the population, who see the
unfairness in the way we are going and the danger in the way we are
going, both to our social fabric and the vigour of our economy.”
To back up his case, he cited statistics saying that in 1980, the
average CEO’s salary was 40 times greater than the average worker, but
that number has jumped to 189 times today. OK, but so what? If my
neighbour has 189 times more money than I do (which he probably does),
that does not mean that I’m doing badly. Measuring your success
relatively to someone else’s can only ever show which one of you two is
better off. The issue that should be on the minds of everyone — poor and
rich, Occupier or Tea Partier alike — is whether our poor have enough
to not just survive, but live comfortably. In the vast majority of
cases, that’s so.
Looking beyond the material needs of the poor, what really matters is
income mobility: How easy it is for people to better their lot in life
by moving up the economic ladder, and whether the structure that’s in
place creates a permanent underclass of destitute citizens. And the
answer is good news: According to a new study
from the Fraser Institute, Canadians are not stuck on one rung of the
economic ladder; they in fact enjoy a high degree of income mobility.
The report examined Statistics Canada data on groups of people over
five, 10 and 19 year periods. In all the time periods, those in the
lowest income bracket experienced the highest degree of income mobility.
Between 1990 and 2009, 87% of those in the bottom 20% of income earners
moved into a higher income group; 21% managed to move all the way up to
the top 20% of earners. The average salaries of people at the bottom
increased by 635% over that same period of time.
Stated another way, in two decades, nine of every 10 of the lowest
income earners were able to improve their lot in life; two in five of
them ended up in the top 40% of income earners. Those who started in the
middle were also able to command larger salaries as time went on:
Approximately 70% of people in the second-lowest group were also able to
move up at least one income group, and those who experienced a decrease
in income mobility were most likely to have started in the top 20%.
The results of the study make sense: As people grow older, acquiring
knowledge and skills along the way, they are able to garner a higher
income. What this study shows is that contrary to those on the left who
say the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, the gap
actually gets smaller over time.
“In 1990, the average income of individuals in the highest income
group was 13 times that of individuals initially in the lowest group,”
write the report’s authors. “By 2009, those who had been in the highest
group in 1990 had an average income only twice that of those who had
been in the lowest group in 1990.”
The take away for Canadians is that a little hard work can go a long
way. For policy markers, this is a reminder that fighting poverty should
focus on helping those who have fallen through the cracks, rather than
penalizing those who have worked hard and managed to get ahead.
