Yes, it’s called framing the argument. However, the most egregious example is the primary premise of the article (and title) to begin with.
The objective is to get that phrase “Income Gap” out there and blame it on someone. In reading the article, the problem of excessive government regulation, oppressive taxes, demonization and external influence on business decisions are not even discussed. It’s almost as if “income gap” begets “factory shutdown and relocation”.
Whatever business’ decisions are for shutdown and/or relocation, nothing is mentioned about liberal interference in wages, unions, government taxes, oppressive government regulations, and NOTHING is mentioned about the new goldmine of the ‘entitled’ American worker - EITC, TANF, WICs, SECTION 8, SNAP and all the rest - it takes a SUBSTANTIAL wage/salary structure to compete with the disposable income of this “new American worker.”
Right. And never mentioned is how the upper echelons of business, making millions a year, could take that money and reinvest it in the business instead of skimming off the top. They are never held responsible for the destruction of a company but are quick to take the credit (and money) when a company does well.
And please, don't give me that "they built the company" song and dance. Some did, yes. But today, most of the Board of corporation are cronies brought in to skim the top and reap the rewards.
I knew a guy who was on six boards of corporations. Never worked for them prior to being on the Board yet he would go to two meetings a year and make six figures off of each one.
