The article highlights the 3 myths about income inequality:

1. Inequality is rising to the highest levels ever

2. Helping the poor will solve inequality

3. The rich are a permanent club choking off opportunity for the rest.

My son s an economics major at Texas A&M. He has to take a diversity class, and he chose a class called Poverty and Inequality.

I was thinking the class was going to be very ouberal, and I googled the professor and the class.

Well, I was wrong. The professor wrote a book about how social programs do not really help the poor.

My son says the professor s great and the class is very interesting.

And there are so many words that the left twists to their advantage.

For example, what is “helping” in the context of helping the poor? Does that just mean giving them money that they confiscate from people who earned it? Probably. But that doesn’t and never will “help” the poor.

It’s easy to debunk myths because they are myths. How about dealing with the realities?

It's very simple to me (maybe too simple): Money makes money. Therefore, when there is a recession, those who still have money to invest do fine, and those without money to abysmally, slowly getting to the point where they need government aid for everything.
