Ha! If there was a conservative company that needed an experienced general counsel, I’d be there in a heartbeat.

From the article:

...American families are paying a steep price for high and rising income inequality.

Although economic growth in the United States continues to be as strong as in many other countries, or stronger, a small percentage of American households is fully benefiting from it. Median income in Canada pulled into a tie with median United States income in 2010 and has most likely surpassed it since then.

So even though the average American wealth or yearly income is way higher than any other country in the world it's still a bad thing because what we need is a worker's paradise where all incomes are equal.

Seriously.   Is this really what we're saying here?
