"Envy" is not the reason for concern about income inequality. Income gap correlates to almost every social ill one could name.
Two studies -- one by Harvard, the other by Berkeley -- measured income inequality in all 50 states. They found that states with greater income inequality suffered from all of the following problems:
Higher death rates for all age groups. Higher rates of homicide. Higher rates of violent crime. Higher costs per person for police protection. Higher rates of incarceration . Higher rates of unemployment . A higher percentage of people receiving income assistance and food stamps. More high-school dropouts. Less state funds spent per person on education. Fewer books per person in the schools. Poorer educational performance, including worse reading skills, worse math skills. Higher infant mortality rates. Higher heart disease. Higher cancer rates. A greater percentage of people without medical insurance. A greater proportion of babies born with low birth weight. A greater proportion of the population unable to work because of disabilities . A higher proportion of the population using tobacco. A higher proportion of the population being sedentary (inactive). Higher costs per-person for medical care.

Also Mitt asked for deferments from the military because of school. After he graduated he asked for and received two more for his mission to Paris France ! Really ! I am not envious of him I am just disgusted at him. If we both got cancer he would live and I would die, He could afford better care at a specialized cancer center.
I am also upset that non of his sissy sons could serve their country in a time of war when other poor families had to watch their children serve five and six tours because of man power shortage.
Iv short I do not have envy for his life but I do have disgust for his actions. He has done nothing to make his country a better to live.
