In this bustling and noisy world, have we ever stopped and thought deeply about such a question: why is the same hard work and sweat in exchange for completely different rewards? Income distribution, a seemingly simple but complex issue, has long caused ripples in all corners of society.
When we talk about income distribution, we have to deal with the stark contrast between those who are high and those who are low. Some high-wage earners often do not admit that there is an irrationality in the distribution system, and they insist that their high income is the result of hard work. However, does this mean that low-wage earners are not putting in the same effort? Don't their struggles deserve to be seen and respected?
Looking back, in that era, when incomes were almost the same, people fought side by side and worked together. Didn't the high-wage earners at that time work hard? Apparently not. At that time, society was more focused on fairness and balance, and today, this balance seems to have been broken.
Let's look at another example, a once-thriving business that ends up struggling and can't even pay its employees. Whose fault is this? Is it a leader's decision-making error, or is it the employee's slackness? And when companies face layoffs, why are the employees at the bottom always the first to bear the brunt? This is especially true in state-owned enterprises. This makes us wonder whose responsibility is for the widening gap between the rich and the poor.
We cannot ignore the impact of capital, the market and the forces of privatization on income distribution. These forces have invisibly exacerbated the widening gap between the rich and the poor. The infiltration of capital, with its "three" weapons of plunder: capital, market, and private ownership, continues to erode our economic system. Their goal is to "empty the economy" and plunder our education, health care and other resources.
Faced with this problem, should we think about how to change this situation? Perhaps the most effective way is to make the people at the bottom a little richer, so that they can share more of the fruits of economic development. Rather than always hoping for the "slimming" of the rich, because this approach is neither fair nor sustainable.
On this issue, we need to be more rational and thoughtful. We cannot rely only on market forces, let alone be swayed by capital. We must be vigilant against the negative impact of capital infiltration, especially on education, health care and other areas of people's livelihood.
Imagine if the income distribution of a society was more equitable and the living standards of the people at the bottom improved, then the society would become more harmonious and stable. This is not only conducive to the long-term development of society, but also a manifestation of responsibility to each and every one of us.
It is everyone's responsibility to think and act on this issue. We should not stop at the level of complaining and blaming, but should actively participate in the process of reform. We need to use our wisdom and strength to promote the progress and development of society.
"Don't suffer from few, but suffer from inequality." This phrase of the ancients still has profound enlightening significance today. In this era full of challenges and opportunities, let us work together to reduce the income gap and pursue social equity.
