BILLY LEE PONTIFICATOR PHILOSOPHY

To reduce inequality and enhance fairness, differences of income and estate size among citizens are best set as reasonable ratios established under law to encourage & reward innovation and perseverance toward worthy goals while eliminating humiliation that comes from being poor, mentally or physically challenged, disadvantaged, unhealthy, or exploited. Maximum incomes and estate sizes must be established alongside minimum incomes and estate sizes so that the distance between people doesn't become cruel & absurd. No more trillionaires living alongside folks who can't afford shelter, good food, quality health care, or safety.
