There is a government system that calls for 100% income equality - its called communism, and unfortunately when you take that route, you end up with even more income inequality because you put the power in a few, who end up ripe for corruption. Becoming more socialist also creates the same issues. You expand the government, and then the people that control the government, control all that $ and end up ripe for corruption.
If you want a better distribution of income, in my opinion, you create a simpler tax code that applies to everyone and makes sense. You close blatant loopholes in addition to other idiotic taxes that enables government spending + specialist groups, and reduce the size of the government, freeing the reigns for people to truly be free in an open society. Then you let everyone compete for what they want and let the cards fall where they will. Some people are better at making $ than others, not everyone is the same or "equal."
It will never happen. Too many people invested in the current system. and people fear real change. even if something was truly good for them long term, they wouldn't even know it. Right now most people take on side or the other. You could blame tax loopholes just as much as you can explain idiotic taxes that flow directly to more government spending + private individuals. Any time the gov't is interfering, we become less free / transparent / open, and thats bad for everyone except the special few.
