You're not in the vast region of the United States going to have equal access to others in every area. There is going to be an equal access problem to a degree just based on geography. Even down to some of the essentials. Just like we don't have equal access to warm weather or rain in the U.S. (which does in fact come into play with jobs) So does distance. Hawaii does not have equal access to things, and neither does Alaska and neither do many places for many things. Now despite that, equality is pretty strong in the U.S. And there are such a wide array of people, many will take what they have and do very well, others will squander it. And others will fall on hard times out of their control.

Rural areas do not have equal access to say hospital care, and I say that meaning the many many many varied medical systems that can be in any given hospital. But at the same time, you're going to find averages on access to education in actual are a lot more equalized across the many states. in fact, let's take Illinois for example, particularly Chicago. Their per-student total operational funding is higher than many regions, in some cases approaching 35% better. That is documented and yet their teachers were just protesting their pay last week.

It's like, then you can compare these districts to others and rightfully ask "ok you're saying your salary is not good, but look at these other districts in other areas of illinois or in districts in nearby states. They get less than you, but they do more and their students are more successful. So is it really an equality of access here?" Hard to argue that. And it's not only disingenuous to say so, it's also MORE expensive to try to mobilize a bunch of expensive redundant measures to equalize something that is really just either corrupt or wasteful or whatever other poison is killing its return on tax payer investment in big or small ways. Even down to the culture of the people. That does not mean there's an access to education problem. It may mean a widespread behavioral problem. In that case, picketing the gov't gets you nowhere.

People would be silly to think income equality is improving, BUT cost of goods has gone down due to improved processes and business, the same people who get the lions share of income, have enabled this over a long span of time. I mean just look at products for sale for the home. You can buy furniture, clothing and many foods, TVs for very reasonable prices and you know as compared to many countries LIVE LIKE KINGS!! That's pretty darn good. And when people come around and say look at income inequality, but yet these people have $100 smart phones or $250 computers, and libraries outfitted with all the information in the world, the U.S. is SO much better providing an opportunity for so many people in spite of this problem.

lastly and I know there are a few exceptions, but if you don't like a company having too much cash and not providing a good service, you make choices with your agency not to help increase their wealth. Capitalism for the most part is a voluntary transaction. And you can freely speak to others to follow your boycott or decision to put money elsewhere. But you can't fault people for disagreeing with you and desiring a good or service over concern of the inequality of their bank account and that company's board of directors. And you can't fault others for saving their money, or not investing it, or even hiring smart people to help them earn even more.
