JC#12 - When We Conflate Poverty with Income Inequality, We Get the Policy Wrong
<p>In contemporary political discourse, “income inequality” has become the rallying cry of policymakers, pundits, and activists alike. Headlines scream about the richest 1% hoarding wealth, while the middle class struggles to keep pace. Politicians frame elections around the moral imperative to “close the gap,” as if the mere existence of inequality is tantamount to injustice.

This is the paradoxical phenomenon where societies, in a misplaced effort to prioritize compassion and inclusivity, systematically undermine the very structures, norms, and moral foundations that allowed them to flourish. Suicidal empathy is not simply kindness; it is a self-destructive moral logic that elevates the needs, demands, or grievances of others above one’s own survival, cultural continuity, and societal cohesion.
