"As
his poll numbers have plummeted recently, Obama's appeals to class
warfare have become even more blatant -- and some would also say more
petulant. On December 4, 2013,
for example, he declared that this generation's "defining challenge" is
the growing income inequality between America's richest one percent and
the rest of society.
There are multiple challenges to Obama's assertion. Blogs for The American Thinker by Henry Percy and Rick Moran illustrate why the left's obsession with "income inequality" is misplaced. Moran cites an op-ed by Robert Grady in The Wall Street Journal
(12/22/13) that asserts that the focus on "income inequality" overlooks
other, perhaps even more significant, features of wealth that alter
America's portrait. Grady also cites a 2012 article in Policy Review by Kip Hagopian and Lee Ohanian that further details the weaknesses of the left's "income inequality" mania." [American Thinker]
Although each of the articles linked above have merit, I particularly commend to your attention the last mentioned Policy Review article. [clipper]
