Especially worrisome to Grantham is the gulf between wage earners in the U.S. The top 10% of U.S. workers currently receive about half of the nation’s total income, with half of that going to the top 1%.

This is the rallying cry for the whole class struggle paradigm. This time coming from a 'compassionate' bear arbitrageur. And I'm sure there are stats that back this up. But where are the stats that show how we live in a society that lives for today, the bucket list. We all wanna go to Disney without first winning the Superbowl. No one saves for their future. Then they expect some idealized nanny state to clean up after them.

The problem is, government “solutions” never dare to levy a wealth tax on the likes of Warren Buffett and George Soros - which is what public supporters of higher taxation think they are backing. Instead, government goes after the soft targets: small business owners, high-salaried employees, and retail investors.
