Is "the rich getting richer" a problem?

I'm sorry but this is straight non-sense. Just my opinion but the ways you use things to twist to your view point is remarkable. You should try to get a job on fox news.

How am I twisting things.  I'm using basic data from the US Census.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1Y25WlUbsXM/TqdJJKE5YHI/AAAAAAAAEgc/mEfoQs_f7xs/s1600/US-Gini-Coefficient-for-Individuals-Families-Households-1994-2010.png

The difference between the richer individuals and the poorer individuals is LOWER then it was in 1994.  While for families and households it is higher.

Therefore, the difference in the rise in the latter two is not caused by the former one.

That's about as straight and not twisting of the data as you could possibly get.

It's a direct reading of specific data gathered by the government.

If you have an alternate reading of this data, or have a fault with the way the data was collected, feel free to state why you hold such an opinion.

Until you do however, logically your opinion just looks foolish... because it's not really based on anything.  You may as well have the opinion that evolution isn't real.  Afterall that's just another form of ignoring data with no actual rebuttal.

 

I mean you can argue that such a thing is problematic even though it's caused by structural changes and not by an inherent unfairness that will remain unabated and that things need to be done in the short term until things level out.

However to actually question the data without any sort of counter purely on a faith basis is asinine.
