Comment on Economic Inequality: The Simplified Version

Comments

PG is still out of touch. His cited example about a plan to move forward:

For example, instead of attacking economic inequality, we should attack poverty

The problem in America, and the world, is not poverty. In fact, by some metrics poverty rates have never been lower[1] and by others it's near all time lows.

The problem is the oligarchs avoiding taxes, while everyone else (even plain old millionaires shoulder the burden for them). PG reaps obscene levels of benefits from the carried interested tax loophole, so he avoids citing a plan to attack this specifically other than saying tax loopholes in general are bad.

Shame on you PG.
