Ask Americans, as Micheal I. Norton and Daniel Ariely did in this study [2], to build their ideal system of wealth distribution and they choose something that looks very different than the United States. They build a system that looks a lot more like Sweden. See this interactive infographic [3]. Perhaps it's why U.S. President Obama has been talking more about the problem of income inequality, saying "inequality begets inequality". Miles Corak writes an accessible blog post [4] about the president's economic report and the diminishing promise of economic mobility in that country.
