Katie Pavlich: Let's Take A Look at the Rising Income Equality Between... Washington DC and the Hinterlands It Reigns OverObama's going to talk about income inequality a fair amount. Since the economic collapse of 2008, Washington D.C. and its surrounding areas have remained nearly untouched. In fact, Washington is booming as the rest of the country continues to suffer. The median household income in Washington D.C. is close to $20,000 higher than the median household income in the United States. Supporting charts and quotations at Pavlich's article (linked above). She also mentions this... As Obama continues his income inequality crusade, here's an important reminder: the gap between rich and poor has grown to its widest since the Great Depression under his leadership. This last point is explored thoroughly by the awful crazy gun nuts of the Volokh Conspiracy, now annoying the crap out of emotionally volatile progressives on the pages of the Washington Post. Jim Lindgren writes: If we want more income equality, should we return to the economy of George W. Bush? Again, evidence is amassed at the link itself. Would anyone prefer George W. Bush's shrinking income inequality, with some but not great income growth, over Reagan's or Clinton's growing income inequality, but with great income growth among all income quintiles? This jibes with the Margaret Thostaer clip I linked earlier. A rising tide will lift all boats -- some more than others. A somewhat rising tide may lift those boats in roughly equal ways. But virtually everyone will be poorer than they otherwise could be. Why support that? Why is that such a terrific goal? Of course, either of these alternatives is superior to the one The Emperor Obama has blessed us with, an economy in which not only is there barely any income growth, but in which almost all of the meager growth is captured entirely by the richest 1%, as almost none of the lower 99% have experienced any income growth whatsoever, and most have actually fallen backwards. As a rising tide will lift all boats, so will an incompetent tide scuttle them all. Thanks to @tsrblike and BB. That's Racist: @benk84 linked this in the morning dump, but it's really good and I'd like to post it again. | Recent Comments
