If the poor make zero and everybody else's income goes up, the income gap widens. Duh. Since zero is zero, the only way to narrow the income gap is for everybody else to make less than before. And the Times thinks that would be a good thing?

if you feel there is nothing new here...then you don't have to stay on this thread.

Thanks, but you're late. I'm over here.

Why do they bore us? They should just write:

We want to take your money and re-distribute it to the "poor" because we feel guilty about going to cocktail parties in the Hamptons.

That sums up every NY Times editorial for the last 40 years.

Well everyone else just not them. Marxists always thing that best thing in life is for everyone else to be equally miserable, then it is "Fair". Notice none of the Junk Media Editors types ever give ANY of their ill gotten over inflated salaries back.
